Nyanyanya what could be better than a trip to Hokkaido? (Well, unless it's a trip to Korea with Sungie... heh heh...) Ahem, anyway the last 7 days were the best times I spent this year. Woots. Had never felt happier. Snow, hot spring and food; love them all!
And it turned out that the best thing in Hokkaido was the snow. I thought it would be very cold, and it really was, but when there was sunlight and no wind the weather was perfect. The moment I made my first footprint in the snow was simply touching. My dad and I had a snowball fight and I got ambushed by our gay tour guide. He emptied a handful of snow into my jacket, and I strongly suspect that that was the cause of my terrible flu. It was also super fun rolling about in the snowy grounds and eating ice cream in the snow. The best part was that it was super cold and the ice cream doesn't melt at all. If there was no snow, going to Hokkaido would be meaningless. The other tour guide (I had 2 tour guides) said that snow came very early this year probably because of the typhoon in October. (was it typhoon? I couldn't quite remember.) Well, lucky me. XD Snow was such fun that I even forgotten about the fact that I looked like an exploding 罗汉鱼 in those ugly winter clothes. (As such I won't put any pictures with me in it after I uploaded the photos later, no no)
Going to the hot springs was the most extraodinary experience ever, especially when I had to go in naked. It just felt weird walking around naked and seeing so many naked women. I was extremely self-conscious the first day in the hot springs and I just stayed at one corner. Later a bunch of taiwanese women came in and there was this old woman who sat beside me. I almost freaked out because her skin was so deeply wrinkled and saggy, and I felt like an enormous bulldog was beside me. Those taiwanese women began yanking in top voices and I quickly escaped outside. It was extremely cold at first but it felt super when I dipped into the warm water and feel the snow fall on my face. It was really DA experience of a lifetime. In the later days going to the hot springs was not that awkward anymore.
The Japanese food (and seafood too) I ate during this trip is the most I've ever eaten in my life. It was such a treat, because there was buffet for breakfast and dinner everyday and there was crab for every buffet. Lovely. The crab was so fresh and it was taste of the ocean. For lunch I had different kinds of Japanese food everyday, like teppenyaki and miso pot. I was so happy because there was free flow of mushrooms and beef. Mushie mushie mushie! Yum. We went to a wet market one day and one store vender treated me to a piece of crab leg. It was cold but the taste was simply fabulous.
There was only one dinner which wasn't that good but there was this waiter who was sooooo (had to put more 'o's, couldn't resist) beautiful. I wasn't bothered about the food because I was looking at him the whole time. *drools* In Japan, putting the chopsticks back into the cover means to say that the food there is delicious. When he came to collect the dishes my dad did this and then he smiled. I almost died, gosh. My dad told me to ask him to take a picture. But I was so shy, kakakakaka, so I didn't. Haix, such a pity...
Honestly, there are so many pretty guys in Japan that you wouldn't feel that Lee Junki is that pretty anymore. (but Sungie is still the best! XD) And so I bought a keychain in that store. XD I'm crazy, but he is really beautiful, OMG.
Hokkaido was as cold as ever, but it was actually not that bad because we weren't outside very long. Most of the time we were just travelling in the tour bus. The 2 tour guides decided that they would go 断背 and this 娘娘腔 tour guide kept on saying '讨厌'. OMG. 变态的老男人. Throughout the trip he was just crapping non stop. He told us about some of the traditions and history in Japan but it was the only useful thing. The other things he said were simply nonsense and he really like to say jokes that are low-standard and p0rn. But nevermind, I just laughed along; what else could I do anyway? At least it was kinda humorous watching those two old men gay with themselves. Too gay, too gay. I get to watch brokeback mountain for free. Cheers.
The chocolate in Hokkaido was the best and I bought tons of them. The ojisan tending the store is so cute. The chocolate originally cost 315 yen. My mum said, "discount, discount", and he said, "ooh, disu-counto," and took out his calculator and pressed 275. In the end we bought 6 packets of that chocolate for 275 yen each. YAYS.
Now I'm at home typing this super long-winded report post of my trip to Japan and am already missing the place. Feels so sad to leave Japan even though I prefer to breath in moist, warm air.
I shall listen to Shinhwa's songs to console myself and go back to perving on Sungie. Heh heh.
But I still couldn't stop thinking of *gulp* that cute waiter. Aiishhh. *Bangs head on the screen*
(will post pictures on a later date. cheerios.)
