DAY ONE.
did nothing much.
only took aeroplane and watched movies: ghost rider and music and lyrics (:

DAY TWO
took aeroplane again.
from tokyo to hokkaido. whee(:
went to this sulphur valley thingy.
its super nice. and SUPER STINKY.
now i know that sulphur actually smells like fart. xD
then we went back to the hotel.
went to the arcade with leon and charis.
ha, it was fun getting thrashed.
had dinner then went to the hot spring with charis.
the outdoor one was shiok. (:

DAY THREE
went to the bear ranch.
THE BEARS ARE SO CUTE!
especially when they fight. =x
then the ainu village.
nothing much there lah, only the weirdo show thing.
but their ancient instruments are make damn cute sounds.
next was the wine factory.
children below 20 are not allowed to try the sake.
ha, but who cares,
I MANAGED TO TRY THE SAKE. stole some from my aunt =x
then went to the ramen village for dinner.
and we were suppose to go shopping or smth, but there only got some departmental store selling baby stuff.
then we saw ths neoprint machine which was almost the same as the ones in singapore.
400 yen.
and at some other shop we could take at 200 yen only!
so much cheaper can.
wanted to go take but not enough time ):

DAY FOUR
went to see the waterfalls.
damn nice(:
then went to this mountain.
took cable car up.
then the chairlift. WHICH WAS SUPER FUN.
must sit two by two, so i sat with charis.
and guess what?
there was snow on the mountain!
SNOW DURING SUMMER(: so cool.
too bad there was no time for snowball fight.
then it was back to the hotel.
the dinner was nice.
especially the crab and shishamo.
and the ice cream and the cakes. <3
so after dinner we were about to go for hot spring,
then samantha called us over for sake party.
STRICTLY FOR THE UNDERAGED.
since we didnt get a chance to try it at the wine factory.
HA, I'M A POTENTIAL ALCHOHOLIC.
yeah, so after that went for hot spring again.
the indoor hot spring was superrr hot.
so we went outdoors, which was much much better..
UNTIL WE SAW FLIES IN THE POOL.
yuckyuck.

DAY FIVE
fox farm!
the foxes were cute. but freaky.
their fur kept flying around.
and there was this fox which ran over my foot.
it felt super disgusting.
then went to the fish market.
LOL, all the aunties were bargaining prices for the scallops.
so we went over to the stall next door which was selling fresh sashimi.
so samantha and _____ [ i forgot his name :x] went to try the prawns.
its damndamn gross.
1. first the shop owner took out the prawns from the water tank.
2. then he peeled away the shell of the prawns. [ prawns were still alive ]
3. served the prawns with soya sauce and wasabi. [ prawns were still alive ]
4. samantha took the prawns and bit it into half. [ prawn was STILL alive ]
5. she ate the tail part of the prawn, which was already separated from its head.
6. then, she ate the remaining flesh near the head part. [ PRAWN WAS STILL ALIVE, AND ITS EYEBALL POPPED OUT WHEN SAMANTHA BIT INTO IT. THEN WENT BACK IN AGAIN] that was super gross.
7. sucked out the remaining parts of the prawn from its head: brain etc. [ prawn probably died after that.]
and thats the end of the poor little prawn.
lalala.
i wasnt so cruel,
i only ate abit of the sea urchin. XD
then went to the duty free shop to buy chocolates.
YUMYUM. :D

DAY SIX
went to the chocolate factory.
didnt look much like a factory though. IT LOOKED MORE LIKE A CASTLE.
damn big and damn nice.
so we toured around it.
bought the little snowman ice cream and somemore chocolates! (:
then went for lunch, which was probably the best lunch we had there.
we bought the crab which was super ex. it was like, $200+ lah.
and sea urchin also.
NICE(:
then went to the glass shop and the musical box shop.
the stuff there were nice but ex.
so didnt buy anything. ):
then went to some underground shopping place.
only had one hour there, so not much time to shop.
then we went for barbeque dinner.
nicenicenice(:
the way they cooked the abalone was damn cruel.
they placed the LIVE abalone on the barbeque thingy and turned on the fire.
then poured sake onto it. the poor abalone got burned to death.
haha. but it was delicious. XD
and suprisingly, the TAUGEY was nice also.
lol. thanks to leon and his superb cooking skills. it was only nice cos of the soya sauce and salt he barbequed it with.
so after dinner went back to the hotel le.
then anabelle, jieloon, leon, and unfortunately, my bro came over to charis and my room to play taiti. whee(:
wanted jiebin to come over but he was sleeping already.
LOL. hes so guai! unlike my bro who came jumping on the bed -.-

DAY SEVEN
flew from hokkaido back to tokyo.
the aeroplane we got was damn cute.
the POKEMON aeroplane!
haha.
so when we reached tokyo had to leave the rest of the tour group.
cos me and my mum extended stay in tokyo, while the others were going back.
so it was BYEBYE to the rest of them.
then we took the bus to the hotel.
checked in and all then went shopping (:
but in the end not enough time cos we had to go meet my mum's ex-colleague for dinner.
DAY EIGHT
took a train to harajuku.
lol. the japan train is so cool(:
yep, so we spent our whole day there shopping.
and bought lots of stuff(:
