Hokkaido Day 6

This is the last day we had at Japan. But it was also Jeremy's happiest day (tell you later).

1st stop was Sapporo Beer Musuem

On display is the collection of antique signboards which decorated the streets in the past. However, they were taken down due to the numerous accidents that occurred when strong winds attacked Japan.

Marketing of beer was then replaced with paper posters featuring geishas. At least they are decently dressed.

Fillial piety comes when you offer your dad beer! So I bought 4 cans for my father.

The red-brick building that houses the history of beer making in Japan. Notice the star-icon of Sapporo Beer that is even featured on the building and even the chimney.

Posing a pic in front of the beer barrels.

The phone booth in the form of a beer barrel. Drunk in making calls.

The clock tower at Odori Park. In February, mid-winter, the park which lies in the heart of the city, Sapporo, will be transformed into a place with many ice sculptures and fanciful ice decorations. If not, there was nothing much to see at the park. Mx and I just quickly surveyed the area and chiong to Mister Donut to buy food. haha

This is Hokkaido Jingu, one of Japan's largest shrines steeped in nature and traditions. We were lucky to witness a traditional Japanese wedding. No photos cos photography not allowed.

We realised the nuns here are quite pretty and we actually mistook them for bridemaids haha.

A Japanese shrine usually has a "pi" like (mathematics) gate as entrance.

And mx too...

I must tell you about this sinful building. This is the Isetan there. But it is seperated into many buildings cos there was simply too many brands!! I bought a plain black Burberry's wallet for about S$170, mx got a black Burberry's wallet too. Shujun got a Paul Smith's white wallet and a cardholder while Jeremy got a Paul Smith's wallet for himself and a furry Burberry's wallet for his mummy! Jeremy also came back with 10 Burberry's handkerchieves. Each only costs about $8 (cheap!!) Burberry's over at Japan has the blue label range and the black label range. Blue label is cheaper cos all the students there carry Burberry's due to school regulation! The black label range also features really nice accessories! Oh, Jeremy's face lit up the moment he stepped into the shopping centre. The area here is known as Susukino.

We also shopped at 100-yen shop. We are talking about a 100-yen shop in a 5-storey building.

And our day and tour ended with our wallets emptied!

Going to show you a few miscellaneous pics by Shujun.

The toilet bowl is always warm.

And they wash your backside too but keep the legs closed lest you kena the spray!

Oh, we also realised that if you are afraid of even farting or producing loud sounds in public toilets, they also allow you to press a button to produce the flushing sound to cover the embarrassing farting sound. Cool huh?

The Kit-Kats and pretzels collected by Shujun!

I hope I have nicely summed up the Hokkaido trip. Before I pen off, Merry Christmas and may all your wishes come true.
