Hokkaido~Tokyo trip (27 Feb ~ 5 Mar)

This is my first trip since i delivered En Yu...a trip to reward myself and relax~~~ but i miss my baby lor!^^



Upon arrival at Sapporo Shin Chitose airport, we took the free airport shuttle to Rera outlet mall (located nearby the airport) for SHOPPING!





The outcome: just one NIKE bag and NIKE knee length jacket. Good self-control huh?





No lah~ actually we need to leave the outlet mall and board the JR to Otaru.
Sigh... hasn't even shop enuf! ><
(but see! it was SNOWING~~~~woo hoo!)


My snack while on board the JR....... though it says made from 北海道牛奶... i did not buy it in Hokkaido, i brought it all the way from Taiwan 7-11...haha ^^ Hubby trying to say i'm crazy lor...look at his gesture ...





Our Sushi dinner set @ Otaru...comes with king crab miso soup... not bad!
Finally a good decent meal after a whole day of travelling...



On the next day, we wanted to catch the earliest JR @ 8:07am to Niseko Annupuri ski resort so we can start to ski/snowboard asap! Just can't wait....






But 2 blur sotongs almost missed the JR train...not that we did not set our alarm, just that we forgot to tune our time to Japan time ><


(side-track a bit... think we can make it as part-time model for spectacles??)




Finally reached Niseko station...waiting to be picked up by the owner of Milky House.





Milky House ~ this is where we stayed..very country-inn style.




Me having breakfast and it was snowing outside!
Feels damn good lor to look out of the full height window and enjoy the falling snow while having breakfast at the same time....
~~~just like dreaming~~~

Overlooking this house from our dining area...isn't it nice to stay in?









We decided to go to Annupuri ski resort this time cos' we already went to Hirafu 2 years back... Annupuri is pretty nice for beginners like me! Me took up a 2 hr private ski lesson and can now ski without falling!





Not forgetting to grab this Royce chocolate and Yubari melon jello from the airport before leaving Hokkaido!




~~~~~~~~~~



Left Hokkaido for Tokyo...hubby went out to work and i was all alone in the hotel. But guess wat? There is a washing machine in the room! Not bad huh!

So, I decided to be a good housewife and do all the laundry..hehe!




Tada~~~ all done! See, I can be a good housewife too ^^

Decided to go shopping in Tokyo after the laundry was done.






And the rewards.... a Burberry Blue label bag & a Burberry Black label wallet~~~ only available in Japan, so of course must buy lah! Yah, i'm a 敗家女~~~ But these are all i bought lor, cos' all else in Tokyo are pretty expensive, can see but cannot buy ><



Took this opportunity to meet up with Renin , who has been working in Tokyo for sometime now, for dinner.

At other times (besides loitering in Shinjuku, Shibuya and Harajuku), when i'm bored, this is what i do in my hotel room: practicing snapping my own pics ....



To me, Tokyo is just another city similar to Taipei, but things are more costly, there are more people and subways are more complex...
Skiiing in Hokkaido is still better :)
