And now....Discovery Dessert!

もち/mochi ice-cream (ice-cream wrapped in a mochi) is my favourite dessert in hokkaido other than the famous Hokkaido soft-cream. Loveeee it! I had so much ice-cream in Hokkaido!

8Nov 2007. First night of stay at the Hostel ~ SPOOKY!

Beezai, Chanjie and I finally reached our very first hostel in Sapporo after dragging our luggage across several very clean streets. The hostel staff were old and friendly and pretty kind to us. After exchanging greetings in simple Japanese, we were shown to our dorm which, we thought it looked kind of dingy. We were not allowed to lock the doors even when we were out and about (and it’s a rule!).

************

Chanjie was browsing through the logbook hanging from a bedpost. Beezai and myself were busy unpacking while she was flipping the book left and right, upside down and turning it around. And boy, did she have news for us while the 3 of us were checking out the dingy and dark old basement where the “ofuro” (bath) was.

“Hey, know what? I read something in that logbook written by a Taiwanese guest."

So, we said, "..and...?"

"Well, she was in the loo before 6 in the morning and when she came out, she saw an old man, butt-naked, facing the window. He then turned back to grin at her and then she also wrote there saying that she thinks he’s prooobably ...not ....human. Eeyearr..spooky lah....”

Chanjie’s eyes were as wide as saucers. (@.@)
 

Hearing that, it sent us chills!! Was it because of the winter season approaching or was it  F-E-A-R??
And we were supposed to stay in the hostel and bathe in the dingy old  basement for 2 nights..uh-OHhhh..

We ended up slapping Chanjie’s shoulders REALLY HARD  for terrorising us with the story….and we vowed  never to leave anyone of us three alone, whenever it's time for a  bath downstairs….YIKES!!!!

Well, during my whole 2 days of stay in that hotel,  I  couldn't get this off my mind- *wheeree areeee my paaaaants~~~~ m(-o-m))) ~~~"

Experiencing Sapporo

Winter was approaching. First to set foot out of the Sapporo Eki (train station). A metropolis! Lots and lots of bicycles, taxis, but not many people walking about…not as crowded as I imagined it would.
