hokkaido in seven days: day 7: celebrity tour guide
http://hokkaidoin7days.blogspot.com/2012/07/day-7-celebrity-tour-guide.html
Hokkaido in seven days. Big trip on a not-so-small budget a-blog post-a-day summer packaged tour. Sunday, July 29, 2012. Day 7: celebrity tour guide. Before we enter the Departure Hall, the entire group took turns to each take a photo with our guide, Michelle. Short of getting her autograph, the people around probably thought she was some celebrity. It is not surprising that we loved her. She is an amazing tour guide, the best I've ever met I believe. Cost: 367¥ crab and cheese fish cake, 105¥ ...I could...

http://hokkaidoin7days.blogspot.com/2012/07/day-4-scallop-and-snow-crab.html
Hokkaido in seven days. Big trip on a not-so-small budget a-blog post-a-day summer packaged tour. Thursday, July 26, 2012. Day 4: scallop and snow crab. We had the best meals today so far. The ramen at Asahikawa comes close, but the lunch and dinner set we had were lush! At lunch, there was steamed scallop, miso soup, salmon and scallop sushi, deep fried scallop, and pork sukiyaki. Our guide Michelle told me it will get better and it is true! Highlight: The spotted saseme seals are so cute! Myanmar in se...

hokkaido in seven days: day 6: we fell in love with the sushi chef
http://hokkaidoin7days.blogspot.com/2012/07/day-6-we-fell-in-love-with-sushi-chef.html
Hokkaido in seven days. Big trip on a not-so-small budget a-blog post-a-day summer packaged tour. Saturday, July 28, 2012. Day 6: we fell in love with the sushi chef. Most of our group went to the famous ramen street at Susukino. Not that we had enough of ramen, but we haven't had much of sashimi and sushi. So we headed straight to the reccommended sushi restaurant at the cross junction of Susukino. We requested for a seat by the counter so we had full view of the sushi chef preparing our food. Accommoda...

hokkaido in seven days: day 5: japanese loch ness
http://hokkaidoin7days.blogspot.com/2012/07/day-5-japanese-loch-ness.html
Hokkaido in seven days. Big trip on a not-so-small budget a-blog post-a-day summer packaged tour. Friday, July 27, 2012. Day 5: japanese loch ness. When our guide Michelle mentioned a foot sand spa, I was thrilled. Known as Lake Swan, the water seeping through the beach edge was hot because there is a spring beneath. It must be at least 42 degrees because I could hardly put my feet down into the water. Amazingly, when we took just three steps deeper into the water, it was cool enough to stand in! Accommo...

hokkaido in seven days: day 1: japanese babies are amazing
http://hokkaidoin7days.blogspot.com/2012/08/day-1-japanese-babies-are-amazing.html
Hokkaido in seven days. Big trip on a not-so-small budget a-blog post-a-day summer packaged tour. Monday, July 23, 2012. Day 1: japanese babies are amazing. I can't remember if I have taken ANA, it is likely this is my first. But it's definitely not the first time I'm on a flight with several babies. Bun and I were mentally prepared to hear a symphony of babies crying, especially during take off and landing. To our surprise, that did not happen. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

hokkaido in seven days: day 2: my first onsen
http://hokkaidoin7days.blogspot.com/2012/07/day-2-my-first-onsen.html
Hokkaido in seven days. Big trip on a not-so-small budget a-blog post-a-day summer packaged tour. Tuesday, July 24, 2012. Day 2: my first onsen. I couldn't wait. Once we dropped off our luggage in the room, I jumped into my Yutaka and grabbed my towels. The corner of the room as I entered had shelves of baskets. I placed my Yutaka and undergarments in one and covered them with my red towel. I randomly picked an indoor bath and dipped my feet in. The water was pleasantly warm and not to hot. Walking out t...
