Sapporo Travel Blogs

I head back to Sapporo - after all it is pretty much the place to be to catch any connections around Hokkaido. I want to have a bit of a look of the city from above. Hence I do what I had thought about doing days ago - I head for the TV tower - the little building in the middle of Oddori Park w…

Travelled to Tokyo and the North Island (Hokkaido) to go snowboarding in Niseko. Certainly, the best snow i've seen anywhere. And a fantastic trip to boot. Japan was faultless!

This is my Bog Blog! Call them whatever you like: dunnies, pissers, gravy bowls, pissoirs, porcelain caves, potties, loos, crappers, dumpers, shitters, outhouses, throne, bogs, longdrops, WC's. As much as we dont want to think about it, even good looking girls have to crap every day! The vast array of toilets in the world have fascinated me for a long time. This blog will be continuously updated as long as I continue to travel the world and wake up needing to hang a dump.

We flew by airplane from Nagoya to Sapporo and stayed there for a few days.  It is amazing to see what you can do with ice and snow. Whole center of Sapporo was a big snow party. Definitely wanna see that again. There are lots of interesting spots you shouldn't miss on your exploration tour o…

Aug. 1-3, 2008 Escaping the then scorching summer in Kanto area, we went to Hokkaido for three days of sightseeing! We are a group of three somewhat stressed office workers and to our surprise hokkaido was just what we needed for a bit of rejuvenation. Not only was the weather perfect, the food oh so delicious!, air was so fresh... the time seems to be slower when we were there, pace of living is unhurried, quite the opposite of the usual japan that we have known.

When I thought about choosing a place where I could spend my exchange semester, I knew that I would love to do it either in South America or Japan. Considering both possibilities Japan suddenly won and I spent there one of the best times of my entire life. I just love that country, its history and customs. It's so mysterious and it's just a question if you dare to make the attempt to discover its secrets.

I lived in Hokkaido, Japan for 2 years as an English teacher and had some amazing adventures. Hokkaido is the northern most island of Japan, and truely a beautiful place, not only is the scenery amzing, but so are the people! I thought I would share special pictures that are would give a glimpse into the life of a Hokkaido JET!

One month in Japan, mostly with Yoko, my best Japanese friend.. a month in Osaka and a week in Tokyo.. it's fantastic experience.. I met also Noriko, Kitty, Taka, Shie and Yuka.. It was also the most English I spoke in life!! What?? Why not the UK? My 2 year in England? I had Chinese friends there.. ha ha..

I took a 5-day trip on my own to the northern island of Japan, Hokkaido, for the holidays. It was a wonderful experience. The weather was snowy, the scenery was astonishing, and the food was delicious. Here is a recap of my adventures.I flew into 新千歳 Shin-Chitose airport outside of Sapporo ea…

The Sapporo Snow festival is magnificent, and an event not to be missed. In Japanese it is called the Sapporo Yuki Matsuri. It is one of the largest winter events in Japan and is an absolute gem. If you have the opportunity to go to Sapporo City at this time of year, make sure you take it. The fest…

OK, so this time I let Liz organize the trip to Hokkaido. The party consisted of me, Liz and her boyfriend Adam. We took a ferryboat from Akita to Tomakodai (12 hours) and happened to find Scott and his girlfriend on the same boat! The ferry was cool and the journey was smooth, but we had a huge pr…
