Hokkaido Trip Day 3

Hi all...

Im not really in the mood for anything but blogging seems to keep me sane..
So i will talk bout Day 3 in Hokkaido...

We had to wake at 5am SG time cos we were going on a 3hr bus ride...
First stop..

Some active volcano which last exploded 2000...
Forgot the name..


Does this give a clue? ;)

All i know is ... that ocean in the horizon is the Pacific ocean
For the 3 hrs on road today, we drove along the coast of the gorgeous Pacific ocean all the way..

Tried like 10 times before we finally got a mid air shot.
I need to find out how to make the shutter time on the Ixus 85 really really short!!

Mt Usu Outer Rim Mountain Trail Entrance.
Like obviously we din go... cos the stupid tight schedule of the tour did not allow us to do so.

Remind me never to take the tour next time when im going to a English speaking country for holiday??
The EARLY mornings, the tight schedules n the weird other ppls in the tour group, not to mention the SHITTY food.... argh

Also how i need my smokes....
Goshhhh....~

I once had a really weird dream tt i smoked in front of my 2nd sister...
Today (4th day) i had tt urge so bad, i truly contemplated doing tt....
But it felt so wrong!!!!! n i would never have the balls to do so i guess..

Another dormant volcano at the bottom of the hill...
It's still spewing smoke as u can see..

Next stop, Lunch

Another mediocre one...
Sigh...

But how do they get eggs this cute??
Like half boiled to three quarter boiled....
hehe

Next stop, some place where they sold kelp n seaweed with an omni theatre n exhibition sales hall...

It's really quite boring n the family is starting to set the verdict on Hokkaido...
Not exciting... for the elderly... ;D

Thank god my parents r beer approving...
;p

Sapporo Classic

ONLY Hokkaido, it says...

i wanna buy a pack back for the beer fans... but dad keeps saying it will explode in the plane.. -__-

"Then dad... y doesn't the beer cans onboard the plane explode then lar?!?!?!" sheesh~

Hakodate factory / Jap's version of fisherman's wharf next..

Sucky shopping, sucky everything..
Except the fresh cheescakes!!!
ooh so creamy!!!

But cannot buy back cos expires in 3 days.. ;(
n must keep i fridge within 2 hrs...
SAD~

Playing around with pufferfish soft toy mascot...

Act blur like sotong...

Taking pics of giant, very expensive Alaskan crabs... (12,000 yen = approx SGD 170)

Tt's for a crab with flesh only in the long thin legs n shoulders..


Then yet another mediocre set dinner with rubbery scallops in our rice..
N mediocre tempura...
Sigh~

But eaten n shared as a family, no matter how much some annoys u sometimes, it doesn't feel tt bad...

We ended our evening at a restaurant not far from the Pacific coastline again...

I ended the night going to bed feeling really indignant bout some uncalled for remarks made to me in an uncalled for tone of voice.

Maybe im just feeling distant..
i somehow managed to rationalise the initial bad feelings YET i still feel shitty bout wat he said bout me being suspicious just cos it's the weekend. SIGH.

OH n i really love Marlboro Menthol Black!!!!!
