thank you for the memories ♥: The last 2 days

The last 2 days in Hokkaido (then i'm finally done blogging the entire trip!) Will be so proud of myself 10 years down the road - hopefully blogger doesn't shut down or whatever.. Archives are so important to me!

Okay, back to Hokkaido trip. The last 2 days there past really fast. The 2nd last day was spent on last minute shopping, bring us to a outlet factory in the city. Then we had to catch an evening domestic flight back to Nagoya. From there, we stayed overnight at the airport hotel and the next morning, we flew home!

So first thing up, tourguide brought us to 'Lin Xiao Lu', which is a little shop situated at i have no idea where and that's where EVERYONE grabbed the japanese tibits and snacks as if they were FREE ?!

Haha there was this family who took a basket of Potato Farm, another basket of 'Bai Yi Lian Ren' and another basket of random biscuits/crackers/chocolates.
We didn't buy as much as them of course, but we did spend almost S$200 in that shop. Haha but the shop had some connection with tourgroups i suppose. The owner didn't charge as tax, and even gave us another 10% off!
So i bought a little fox keychain for the boyfriend. Because it's cute.
And fox does have a meaning in the Japanese culture, although not related to men, haha but i still give it to him because it's cuteeeeee. (No pictures though :( )
Check out what we bought! Bags and bags :)

Then we decided to check in the items because there were TOO MANY, hence we gave the shopkeepers to pack into a nice box for us! FREE OF CHARGE TOO, their customer service is really NUMBER 1!
Everyone bought so many things, the bus driver was so afraid the bottom of his bus will not have space for anymore luggages!
Then we went to walk the Sapporo Nijo Fresh Seafood market. Where we saw rows of stalls selling fresh seafood. Salmons were huge and stack on top of each other, left in the open! That cannot be done here, because our weather is just too hot and humid!

I saw a bloody puffer fish too, left inside a icebox on the floor. Just like that. Wow.

And they had these radiators which were really hot if you go too close, some shops even put their kettles on the top to boil water! Don't waste the heat ma.

And a huge pumpkin.

Then we had lunch, Fry-your-own Tempura day!

Oh then we were suppose to vote if we wanted to Snow Mobile, very expensive though! S$170 per pax!!! so nobody wanted to pay for it and tada it was supposedly called off.
THEN the tourguide kinda got scolded by the person in charge of the snow mobile place as he already prepared some free ride thingy for us.
So we went.
AND IT WAS GREAT FUN even better than the day we were snow tubing at Rusutsu.
The slope was higher and steeper hence our little sleigh could go faster!
What a workout, we had to carry the heavy 'sleighs/cars' up that slope, then slide down one by one on our own. The adults were at the foot of the slope looking at us play. And taking videos and pictures of the children crashing into the snow lol.

Since we aren't playing, what's the harm of pretending?

The machine that took out the snow to make a slope for us!

The little car we had to drag up, and slide down with.

Climbing the hill...

Sliding down was still the best time ever.
Best part? Sis and I shared ONE car, i sat behind, she took the wheel HAHAHA, we were so heavy we speeeeeeeeeeeeeed down that slope like fire. WHOOPEE!!! Then i fell and she crashed, best time of my life :D
Then sis tried with bro, and this time SHE FELL, and bro didn't crash lol.
What a day ~

Us, with out tourguide! She's really awesome :)

Then it's factory outlet shopping time + early dinner before our domestic flight back to Nagoya.

Yup we found Cold Stone there! And the scoopers sang us a song while serving! Customer service #1!

Hungry bear = Ellson

Fly fly fly, then landed in Nagoya where it was 7 degrees. Because we experienced colder temperature we didn't have our winter coats with us. BUT THE WIND WAS SO STRONG, so we shivered for quite awhile while walking to the airport hotel.
