hokkaido

and im finally here. after months of waiting (:

it was a lonng journey with multiple transits at bangkok, tokyo, then hokkaido

followed by a road trip up to sapporo, where we went through a small ghost town where people were.. just not there

present, however, were many small wood cottages built according to european architecture, which housed warm fireplaces and cozy pastries and christmas carols, which was more than we expected for our teabreak

we checked into grand hotel, sapporo at about 4pm local time here, and the sky looked as dark as it was at 11pm

dinner's at this jap restaurant a few blocks down, and official temp now is a grand total of 1deg

we've got a ski trip planned for the next few days. so thats gna be helpful in losing some pounds (:

missing everybody back home! while joy's freezing her butt off here
