Sapp what?

1st of all, I would like to say thanx for still tuning in....I know
your eyes are hurt, but bare with me ok! If reading is bad, try typing
it! Ok, welcome to Sapporo City....the city of chess boards....with
HUGE pieces! This is the only city built to make life easier in the
entire Japan. Its just so simple, the whole city is rectangular in
shape, straight lines of roads and distance is measured in 'how many
blocks away'....The pieces, or buildings are unbelievably HUGE! If your
marvel at the size of Times Square in KL, then I bet your mouth won't
close while your in this place....its practically loaded with it! This
pic shown here is the train station itself....its even bigger than
Tokyo's main railway station! I think that its because theres no
earthquake around this place so their buildings could be made XXL in
size...


After 5 hours of bus ride from Hakodate, we reached Sapporo at about 5am...and its already as right as this! Due to the lack of sleep, we slept for another 2 hours on a bench(where else?) before heading of on our journey to 'nowhere' again....since its still so early, we went to the park nearby to scroll around the historical buildings nearby....and on our way, this few fellas came our way and passed us this 'novel'....being from M'sia(where they give u things 1st, but then ask you to pay for it after it entered your graps!), of course we rejected it....but after they insisted that its FREE! Take la! Know whats so nice about this 'novel'? Its about a teen who is kinda 'sexually active' but ended up having AIDS for his 'journey'(I read the sypnosis only, din actually have the will to read the book at all!) but thats not all, theres even a condom..yes, u heard me right, a 'balloon' fitted nicely in the back cover...well, curious Chin Wooi quickly went back to the guy & took 1(he was to malu to take at 1st), tear of the back page, throw the book away, and kept the 'balloon'!! He said he was just curious.....we just 'shot' him the whole day after that...

This made me think again, Jap doen't encourage ppl to stay of sex before marriage like in my country, but just be careful in 1. Its called concessual sex without the big AIDS or STD or DADDY word as an 'after effect'...no wonder when I said I'm Japan only, some friends was asking bout my 'sex' life here dee....U ALL GILA MER! RM200 for 30 minutes so expensive la! Joking...joking only....but the price is real la...


Enough of the 'sex' thing, this is the city's national art galerry....boring? Boon & Fook Hee didn't wanna leave this place at 1st ok! The art part was so-so la...but one of the 'artistess'(got such word arr?) was a big draw for 4 guys wandering aimlessly....2nd floor, 4th window from the right. was where it stood a very 'suave' artist whose painting didn't draw any crowrd except for the 4 of us....Chin Wooi(not Boon as meantioned earler...but i still suspect...) actually went inside the same room 3 TIMES! Man, I think that gal was freaked out with a stalker such as Boon lo! Boy, was he desperate! Besides that gal, we met with some 'ah ma' artist who said this when we 1st told about ourselves "WOW! You ppl are from M'sia!? Your Jap is really good lo!"....familiar? But we were so 'alien' to them as one of them quickly went down stairs, bought a camera just to take a few pics with us! Cos they have nvr seen such a species before and it a self satisfactoty thing i guess? They bought us drinks and sweet and candies and some souvenirs....my god! We freaked out again! Ran away ASAP from that place after that!


Since its summer now, theres this beer festival going on, but only at night....the entire garden was filled with tables and chairs of all the beer companies here in Japan trying to drunk as much ppl as possilbe! We wanted to enter this place too, but since it again clashes with our more 'sober' plans...forget bout it la!

BATH TIME!

Well, my tittle said it all...this is our public bathhouse all rite! The walls you asked? Sorry la, but got none!...its called 露天風呂 in Jap, which means 'all you can see' public bathhouse....keep in mind that the gals are nvr in the same place as us 1 la....pity...If you think that we are mad, which I think we were, this places isn't any cheaper compared to any 'walled' bath houses ok! It cost about 4 times more ok! About RM80 bucks per-person per-entry, this was our more 'sober' plan....Ya, there were 'birds', inscets, birds, 'bushes', trees and lots of mad naked ppl around in this place, but it was supa cool ler! I even sun tanned my self while resting on a rock while chatting bout our own single & miserable life in which we found that Chin Wooi is the happiest among us....


Nice view? Bathing at waters as hot as 50C with strong chilly winds blowing at our face is really some kind of new exp! Rest assured that even at that temp, it is still safe for our 'brothers' according to the Japs...Hey! With a population of 250million to prove it, unbelieable? U BETTER BELIEVE IT!


MAMAK!? Aiyo....boring la! Everytime supper also Roti Garlic Naan....'sien' dee la! Well, not since I'm in Japan that is. This ulu place has a mamak place in it! Really unexpected! With real Indians cooking it for u....the taste was 同じ with the Pelita Mamak near my house lo! Chris, Sookie, you should try their cheese naan! Damn good la! Better than my place 1 ok! Price wise not so good la...my tandori cheese naan set cost about RM34....didn't really hurt but I wouldn't wanna send so much for every lunch time...


As much as we wanted, that place doesn't offer any place for us to sleep, so we were forced to go back to Sapporo City to search for a hotel....so, how does our place look at? Its a 5 star hotel ok! Called GRAND HOTEL...........'s garden....try noticing that bench on the bottom left of this pic....yup! Thats our 'hotel' for another 2 nights....nice view ok! Facing a 5 star hotel!


Boon & Chin Wooi's room...I live with Fook Hee next door...I woke up at 5.30am cos its damn bright(being a light sleeper as I always were)....its soo cold at night that I'm fortunate to have borrowed a sleeping bag from my senior...Boon lost his somewhere in Hakodate, so
he went on to sleep with 3 shirts every night(remember that its the summer season now ok!)


My whole 'hotel' view again! That signboard says something about thisplace being a garden...thats all I know....My seniors toldus since M'sia started sending ppl to Jap, we are the 1st group of Chinese(I don't know bout the Malays la) to 野宿 in Japan...cool huh? They call us
mad, we call them 'scary cats'....Well, 2 down, 2 more to go....(it'll be shorter, I promise!)
