SAPPORO 🇯🇵  1/2

Hey!

A few days ago I was in Sapporo freezing my cheeks off with my best friend and it was one of the best trips so far this 2019. Granted, it’s only January but we’ve got to be positive! It’s the new year! 🤗

We only had one legit day to spend around Sapporo and although we could have done so much more while we were there, we had a really good time still. Our flight landed around 7:45 in the morning and we got to the hotel around 8:15 checked in and what not so we were out of the hotel in our winter clothes and in search for some food because we were hangry. 

Right across from the hotel we have a good selection of food chains. So decided to cross the street and go for KFC, I know right, I’m in Japan but I go straight to a KFC, no judgement, I’m h a n g r y at this point. But it was closed when we got there, literally got escorted out of the established because gomenasai, we are still closed, lol. 

Oh well, off to the mall we go since we saw people come in and out of it already. In Manila, malls open around 10 am if it’s SM, 11 am if it’s Shangrila so it wasn’t our first option since we assumed it would still be closed but the mall near us opens at 9 am! Thanks, AEON! 

So we made a beeline for the food court. Went around and looked at our choices and we ended up eating Udon and Tempura for breakfast. I was thinking I could do this for the rest of my life, eat deep fried vegetables and chase it with fat carby noodles like it’s no big deal but I would get sick and be fat and I would have to eventually die faster so –– this is getting out of hand. 

But you know what I mean. Yum. 

Pretend I caught the tempura party in this photo but soon after I took this photo the lady was pleasantly smiling whilst she places the fried veg on that sad empty white plate. 

After that we went around the mall, scouted the grocery store because we are slaves for Japanese grocery stores and the home things they sell.. THE HOME STUFF, GOSH. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve thought about purchasing several pots, pans, containers, trash cans, basins, chopsticks, convection oven, blenders, coffee makers in one go with a 23kg baggage limit, not even considering Japan uses 110V and all the appliances I will buy will just blow up the moment I plug it on. Good times. 

And then of course, we found some cute things I wish wouldn’t be nuisance after I bring it home and toss it to the pile of things I-thought-I-needed-but-ended-up-becoming-trash or the I-would-totally-use-this justification excuse we always come up with when we’re faced it smol cute things.

But I really wanted those coasters and those side dish plates would look nice with all the cooking I will do. (I won’t)

Okay, listen. Aside from all of the junk I have lying around my house, these kinds of cups will always find a home in my cupboard but I didn’t get one since they look so fragile and I’m not as gentle as you think I am. 

*internally screams as I take this shot* Look at Bokuto and Akaashi. They facing each other instead of looking to the right, my heart. 

Then it was snowing like this when he headed back to the hotel, it was snowing so hard that it got into our mouths, noses and eyes. It was pretty intense. Snow looks cute and all but they’re pretty intense when they want to be. The winters in Sapporo seem to be super intimidating because of it but that’s not what I meant when it came to being intense, Canadian, European and some American winters are for sure harsher and much more biting cold than Sapporo’s but the snow just never stops and it covers the roof of houses so satisfyingly perfect like the ones you see in animes. It’s real y’all! lol 

Anyway, stay tuned for part 2 where I’ll show you photos of when we went to the famous Sapporo Beer Museum, Susukino district and more snow!
