Hokkaido - Day 5





the next morning.. it had snowed lightly overnight.. so prettyyyy ^______^



nice staircase near the indoor church in the hotel.. perfect for photos :)



next we went to this place that sold these 'snow prince' biscuits or smth.. its literally 2 biscuits with a piece of hard white choc inbetween it.. =\ apparently its always sold out.. they make it in batches so its not always available.. just to keep the hype up =\



other then that this place that sells these biscuits was quite interesting! very fun place for lots of pics with lots of little houses and stuff.. really cute.

this is meant to be one of the factories that gives tours showing you how its made and the story and history behind these biscuits... tho we didnt get to see the tour.. and they had already sold out when we went there to try n buy these biscuits.




the things wrapped in pink, usually they have roses growing all over the gardens so it looks really nice in the spring.. the pink material is to protect the rose plants from the cold.





i liked the building designs.. very bold and interesting architecture. looked german to me.. or something foreign :) the buildings were lined with all these little snowmen on one side of the building.















a small glasshouse which wasnt open but looked ready for tea parties :D







mad fake treehouses :D there were 3 of them in a row



not sure if u can see it there but it looks like theres a a pyramid of chefs holding the tower of the building up and one chef pulling the tower with a rope to keep it upright





some great snowy scenery around the building




the cookies packaging... i opened my box to try






and then back to the airport to go back to hk. end of the tour


the tourguide bought us around the airport to recomend the best foods we could buy to bring back.. see the cheese cake above? our little tour group pretty much bought out all the cheese cakes.. same with those cookies/biscuit from above.

all in all it was a great trip with a funny tourguide.. lots of eating and really nice snow scenery.


the onsens were reallly nice.. tho takes time to get used to.. and the shopping there wasnt bad either :) cheaper then here at least..


will recommend to others :D
one of my friends bought these red bean buns that a classic cartoon character loved to eat ^___________^
doraemons favourite food heheh
