since i got back from Hokkaido (北海道) first, i bought a PS3 and some games; killzone 2, Afrika, みんなのGOLF5, and ボクの夏休み3. those have taken up some of my time, but the updates and downloads have taken up more (it took around 4.5 hours to download the online golf updates!), PSN sucks! also mornin and i have been looking for an apartment, it's time to move. melvis is apparently looking to move too. enough about that, lets get to why we are here, the Hokkaido trip!June 2nd.
mornin had to give her graduate thesis presentation (one of them at least) in the morning so sometime in the early afternoon we hopped on the train headed to Haneda 'international' airport (羽田国際空港). i use ''air' quotes' because it's 'barely' international (however it is expanding). to get to the airport we used the monorail, which always reminds me of Seattle, even though I've only used it like twice. we got to Haneda waaay early so we poked around and had a pretty decent lunch, i had a ham and cheese!
we had time to get a massage before our flight too!
10min for 200円! not bad.the flight from Tokyo to Sapporo (札幌) was only about an hour and a half and i actually slept a bit!
when you arrive in Sapporo at new Chitose airport (新千歳空港) you realize that you are far from Sapporo! gotta take a train into town and by the time we made it to our hotel near Nakajima park station (中島公園駅) it was nearly 11pm. there were no eateries available around the hotel so we hoofed it to one of Sapporo's most famous districts, Susukino (すすき野). basically the Ginza or Shinjuku of Sapporo. we ended up on a ramen street (ラーメンの横丁) and had to wait a bit to get inside a place called toraya (とらや). it was bitchin!
that was about it for the day.
