Japan Trip Part 2 - Hokkaido


Hokkaido. Yes, I know it's kind of overdue.. But here it is:

Noboribetsu:


 登别温泉。地狱谷。very "touristy" place, but pictures look great! nice weather. pretty scenery. famous hotspring. (Pls see part 1 for more details)

Sapporo:
The city.
Roads are covered by ice, not snow.(I think coz more ppl walked on the road, so snow become ice). taller buildings spotted. shopping centre, etc


We had lots of good food at Sapporo:
Ramen
Hairy Crab!

Rutsutsu Ski Resort:
This is where we had our first Ski experience。
Ski slope at night
Ski Slope in the morning


Otaru:
We made a day trip to Otaru, a food paradise!
Nice weather again, by the canal at Otaru
Wanted to try Uni-don, but we couldn't read the Japanese Menu, so we ordered Roe-don by mistake
还有很多小吃!This is a huge 'tako' ball with lots of ingredient, cheese, bacons, sweet corns etc
 
Another day trip to Shiroi Chocolate Factory



We had a nice walk to the factory and fun time at the factory. Oh.. I missed the biscuits and chocolates!

Hakodate:
How can we miss sashimi in Hakodate? Ah...sashimi....
Chinese waitress told us this is Hakodate's signature: Sotong Sashimi! The correct way to eat this is to eat with ginger, instead of wasabi. yummy yummy!
And we had ice-cream too! It was on sale that day, half price, I guess no one is as crazy like us to eat ice-cream in this cold winter night. 
We visited the market just beside our hotel early in the morning!
Hakodate is a port, one of the first cities in Japan to be influenced by westerners. We visited the churches, interesting architecture even though they are built hundreds years ago.
