Still in Hokkaido

Day 2

Woke up at 6 in the morning, which translates to 5am singapore time, to give ample time for travelling since heavy snow impedes movement. It's a first for me to wake up so early in a long long time. "A" levels seems prehistoric now.

See these beautiful crabs. That's our menu for lunch.
More crabs.
That's a tuna head. Baa!

A wonderful thing about Japan is their fish markets don't smell. Their fish is either alive or all wrapped up nicely. These are ebi. Sweet shrimp.

Look at the seafood. They don't smell either. If there's a smell, it would be called "freshness". These seafood smells absolutely fresh. Just look at their colour.

We get to pick our lunch, down to the specifics. That's a potential candidate.

Seafood nabe. That's hairy crab with a whole lot of vegetables. This is provided by the tour.

We dumped everything in the above into this pot. Hence the Japanese calls it seafood nabe or hotpot.

This we have to pay ourselves. The extra big crab we picked and scallop sashimi.

Bon appetite!

The restaurant has these stuffed animals at thier reception, and i couldn't resist. Haha.

Next on the itinery was the Kitsune Fox Farm. These little weirdos were supposed to be at their most beautiful. Because of the weather (it's winter), their fur should be in full bloom. Can you imagine what they look like during summer. Think molted feather duster, that's what the tour guide told us.

This one eating is one of the leader of the pack. Munch munch.

Beautiful, isn't it.

Covered in snow is an understatement. In Hokkaido where winter lasts for about 5 months, drowned in snow should be a better term.

At the hotel's ski fields after dinner. This was taken before my brother and his friend decided to ambush me with snowballs. Needless to say, i emerged victorious even without the use of snow. Yeah.Snow.

The bathrobes the hotel provided are so cool that i had to pose in it. Haha.

Nightly facial exercise. (it's an excuse to try to act cute before you sleep.)

My lovesick brother. Hahaha.
