Hokkaido - Day 4



View from our hotel room the next morning :) our lake side hotel




the snazzy toilet thingys which i wasnt game enough to try :P u know.. them water squirting bum cleaners... the best thing was the seat warmers :D great for cold weather



a 2 meter ginger bread house.. pretty cool.. this was in the foyer of the hotel as you entered.



made of real food.. and no u dont want to eat it cause its been there for a while :P




a certain area with the time and temperature... they insisted we take pictures in this spot.. like to signify being at that certain place and time and temperature... i think we found the scenery more interesting.. :P



then we got to walk around abit n see the local sights..



ice cream place.. they hav this 6 flavour cone.. thats like massive.. we didnt try it cause it was abit cold and we were afraid we wouldnt finish it :P

another pic of a tram/bus that just happend to go past :D


the music box factory which is well known in hokkaido.. they had premade music boxes in many different shapes and songs.. u can also put together your own one.


headed next door to this 'totoro' shop :D hehe heaps of cute toys XD




my totoro crazed friends got to buy some totoro stuff.. the above totoro was huge @_@



some nice hand made glass place we went past.. so pretty.. but im afraid it maybe a bit delicate to take back..


then we had a sort of korean bbq for lunch :D



more shabu shabu.. yum :P (them expensive meat things)


was buffet style :D


outside the bbq place...





we were left at these numbered streets to walk around for a few hours.. go shopping etc..




our hotel room for that night.. with an extra bed in the corner.. not much space =\



the hotel we stayed at i think it was the hilton? also had its own indoor church @_@ i think its well known or used for weddings..


buffet dinner again...


the food was getting worse for some reason.. as we went on.. the best one being the very first night and the very first onsen :D
