Sapporo ni

So, as it was our last day on the mountain, (our meaning me and the 2 aussies, im not inventing new people) yesterday we went and had a few (to many) drinks at pow pows. We were playing pool and i was trying to teach a japanese girl (Yuka) the rules. The only problem with this is that she knew as little english as i knew japanese. Ahh it was very funny.

So anyway traveling to sapporo today with a hangover wasnt very fun. Had to take the train cause the buses arent running anymore.

After lugging my backpack around for a while i came across the youth hostel, dumped my stuff there (for 2960yen a nite) then went out for a walk around the town.
And its a very beautiful city, wide roads, a big long park that runs through the centre of town, crazy flashing billboards that have huge televisions (like 10metres across) trying to sell you stuff, people on every corner handing you pamphlets.. Hmm... yeah.

Theres this big eiffel tower like building in the middle of town that i went up, gives you a nice veiw of the city..

And then I was just wandering around (looking for an internet cafe) and i actually got lost.
But I know where i am now so its all cool. hmm...

Hi Glenn,
Was wondering where you'd got to. Nice pictures (but how did you put them up-you didn't have a camera then...I'm confused). The chest of drawers hotel sounds interesting-but I don't think I'd like it at all. Have fun and look after yourself, Love Mum XO

Konichiwa Glenny! Glad to hear you're having a brilliant time! What i really want to know is what else you have bought out of vending machines... don't be shy, we all expect you to buy some dirty undies. Also, in the capsule hotel, how high were the people stacked?

3 months??? nah more like a year.

Mum, i got the pictures emailed to me from tali (from work) he had a camera that nite.

and sara, the capsules are only 2 high on each floor, but it would be cool if they were stacked 50 high.
