Japan honeymoon trip

This is a backdated post of my honeymoon trip in Hokkaido, Japan towards the near-end of February for 7 days. Havent been doing anything about the post because the work of resizing the photos really took me a while plus i started my tuition teacher's post as soon as i got back from honeymoon.

It did take us almost one day (transit times inclusive) to start our journey from Kch to KL and from KL all the way to Japan's Narita Airport.


Stepped on the land of Japan! I've marked it!

Then, we had to get on a charter bus to find our way to JAL Domestic Flights, Haneda Airport to board on the domestic flight to Hokkaido's New Chitose Airport in Sapporo, the capital of Hokkaido. I tell you. It's a long long way to get there. We ended so damn tired end of the day. Couldn't possibly we sleep in the airport after we landed in Hokkaido, right?


Almost there~almost there...land covered with snow and foggy some more.

It started to rain snow as soon as we stepped out from the sliding doors of the pitifully small airport. Okay! Laugh at me! I was so amazed with snow!!!


Told you already~it started to snow and became heavier later. Snowing gracefully.

Cuz never seen it before ma...I was like a little girl, reaching out my hands and let the snows fell onto my palms. I felt like it was a dream come true. At least, I get to see snow for once, if not a lot, in my entire life. Okay. Come back. We then got on a charter bus (it was our main transportation for the rest of the days in Hokkaido) and all of us fell asleep while the Mr. Bus Driver did the rest of the job. He didn't spare us any mercy at all. He brought us all the way to a well-known volcano tourist must-come spot to take priceless photos with active-volcano. It was an active volcano and the overflowed larva was just too smelly for anyone to get too close to the leg of the volcano. So, we took far-away-from-it photos. (couldn't find the photos in my folder..dont know where have they gone..paiseh)


Take this as replacement of the volcano photo la...

It was already evening and the sun had packed up and went off resting for the night. Our next stop was a traditional village and it had a story that i forgot how it went after I left the place. He he. To the villagers, eagle protects villagers in the village. The street was magnificently decorated with bulbs and ornaments while the old japanese songs could be heard from some old shops and souvenir shops located along the street. It had the feel man!


Hubby with the ice-carved tubes lit up with candles i think


I didn't lie. The eagle was there. I saw it myself.


Hubby and me of coz!

Without my knowledge at the time, our hotel for the night was just a walking distance away from this street. But no one was willing to take the stroll down the frozed path cuz even when we had our long johns, jumpers, jackets and gloves on, believe me, it was still freezing cold with the icy cold wind bracing our faces at night. Guess what? We hadnt have our dinner yet...T_T

It was time to go back hotel for a hot natural spring spa (open air some more O.O"), Japanese style dinner and a good night sleep to rejuvenate us for the activities next day. Dang dang dang dang....be prepared for the upcoming, first-ever cuteness overdosed Helen dressed up in Yukata (not Kimono, totally different costume).



Yukata..looks funnie on me..or i look funnie in it

LOL! thick face hor...but nevermind..this is my blog (like how all other bloggers say it with that tone..hohoho). This was meant to be worn before we enter the natural spring spa room so that everybody looks the same...was that so? I think it's more like they can be taken off easily. LOL. Btw, men and female spas were separated like what you see in the manga (exclude the monkeys la of coz). Anyway, adios! Off to enjoy the hot spring bath and our dinner~Weeehoooo


Japanese style buffet dinner! Mind you. We had salmon fish cooked in different ways each and every meal throughout our trip. The outcome: We did not ever go near salmon fish after the trip til today.
