The only thing you need to know: I LOVE Japan.
Ok lets move on. Its a photoblogpost today, so sorry if your com lags. I cant put gigabytes of pics here, so i just chose the more interesting ones. FYI i went to hokkaido in june. ultra late post. heh.
All my photos are in A MESS. Anyway, this is my mum's hand caught in action at the strawberry farm. You get to pick strawberries and eat them in the farm itself. Cannot bring out, but eat as much as you want inside. Sweetest ever.
Super pretty flowers. Everywhere you turn also have one.
Lunch at some seafood restaurant. You choose and buy your seafood at the market downstairs, and cook it in a steamboat upstairs. Giant crab and clams. AHHH. total bliss.
Besides what you choose downstairs at the market, you get this standard platter of salmon and veggies.
And this is wad we chose at the market. Cut up and ready for eating. Fresh crab claws, giant clam thingo, and sea urchin. I love sashimi. The whole plate was empty in seconds. haha.
Some random flowers beside a toilet stop. they have nice flowers EVERYWHERE.
Some dinner at some BBQ restaurant. This is the standard platter with butter, veggies and salmon. I was quite sick of salmon at this point.
It was a BBQ buffet, so you get infinite access to beansprouts, pork, beef, mutton and chicken. Perfect for meat lovers.
And this is the wondrous kobe beef. FYI i did not eat all of that. This is NOT included in the buffet. Parents and me ordered 1 piece only. They served the whole tour group's orders on 1 platter and i got this shot. heh. Take your time to drool. Anyway you have to preorder this beef if you want it.
Small piece of kobe beef. It was the fattiest part. I couldn't bring myself to eat it. Mum ate it in the end. See the fat? Warning: Kobe beef is SUPER DUPER ULTRALY CRAZILY RICH.
This is at some park i think. Many quaint little stalls selling cutesy items. And some handpainted postcards which mum went gaga over.
Just some random picture of more crab. We practically ate hotpot and seafood everyday. Like crab. I know you are green with envy. Admit it.
A fake mini Ainu village. Ainu: the indigenous people of Japan (i think). It has quaint wooden shop houses. And that owl thing marks the entrance. Obviously for tourists. It was near several hotels.
One of the shophouses. Note the architecture. Shops around this area typically sell loads of wooden handicrafts, carvings and souvenirs.
We went to this crazy bustling markety place. I dunno exactly how to describe it. Its outdoors with many rows of shops that sold stuff ranging from expensive fashion to dried foods. We kinda bought 1 carton of dried shrimp in various sizes, dried tiny fish, and some special sweets.
Ok These are just a fraction of the photos i took. Anyway here are photos of the stuff i bought. heh.
As usual, bookmarks and keychains, and other knick-knack. See the wooden owl? It was bought at the place with a lot of wooden stuff.
My super bling kaleidoscope music box. Bought at the music box museum. That place has nothing but music boxes. All super ex.
Last pic of snacks. This is just a few of them. We practically bought a carton of snacks. A CARTON. It was demolished in 2 weeks. By yours truly.
As you can see, Japan is a super place, so you should cancel all your flights to dunno where and just coerce your parents into getting tickets to Japan.
