A quick lunch at Haneda Airport turned out to be a really really nice Beef Curry Rice.
Meat so tender and rice so fluffy. Tears in my eyes...
Did I tell you I can eat Curry everyday?
Then it's off to HOKKAIDOO!
by a Pikachu airplane!?
Anyway,SAPPORO here we come!!
The picturesque Tokei-dai (the clock tower) build in 1878.
This clock has been ticking ever since it was built, without any parts being replaced at all (really...?)
Well, apparently, that makes this one of National Treasure of Japan.
The old Government building build in 1888.
Inspired by American Neo Baroque architecture looks...well a bit creepy in this picture...
Susukino is the place for food, restaurant and good night life, where around 4000 shops coexist, and is bustling til the break of dawn.
...never knew this part of Japan is also all sex, perverts and rock'n roll.
Ramen-yokocho, Sapporo's Ramen of all Ramen place, about 50 ramen shops next to each other and they are all full.
Die Die Must try (tribute to Makansutra) is the Butter Ramen. Sounds very good for diet doesn't it?
Corn and sweet potato is proud Hokkaido produced delicacy.
Carbo lover haven....
Fuufu Katsura - Katsura's Couple Tree'
Originally, there were 2 seperate trees, but over time, the roots joined and became 1. The trees withstood for 300 years protecting the Katsura foot of the mountain. 20 years ago, due to strong wind, they fell. But miraculously, the root bore 2 trees. It is said that the right one is a boy and the left one is a girl.
Moiwa-yama (531m) Go up by rope way and voila! beautiful city lights of Sapporo.
So romantic!
Here, Matt decides to buy a tripod, so he can take better night shots.... very romantic indeed.
