it was a nice little town/ city, but mostly due to tourism ( I think), trying to rent a car there was an experience, they couldn't speak English at all, but somehow, through gesturing and some noises, we managed to get our enquiry through, and by God's grace we managed to get the car a couple of days later, it was really quite funny, cos when we went to collect the car 2 days later, they had prepared a nice little document with a questionaire of things they needed to ask us, both in Japanese and English in parallel, so that they could point to the questions and we could point the answers out to them. It showed the extent of their attention to detail. but it was a lovely little town overall and we had a nice little afternoon there. The next day, we went to Sapporo, a 30 minute train ride away, and went to visit a nice little park where the locals went to see the blossoming cherry blossoms, again a very unique experience, where the whole park was full of very happy boisterous locals, with the charred smoky scent overhanging the park because of the barbeques that were going full force as the everyone was there enjoying their nice grilled lunches with a cold 'sapporo' beer. We of course had none of that, but managed to bring home both nice memories of the afternoon in the park as well as pictures of the cherry blossoms in all their glory. It was a nice reminder of God at work in nature...
Well hopefully more pics to come... getting a little tired...
thanks for reading..
