In 2005 I visited Hokkaido once and I missed it so much thereafter. I’d like to visit Furano in summer, but I’ve already spent too much! After two years, I thought maybe it’s time! So, let’s visit Japan for another 14 days! Why not?

I took a domestic flight to fly from Tokyo to Sapporo instead of by train. I  didn’t bring my Sony V1 camera, but my new Nikon D70s Kit set + Sigma 20-300 instead!

It was late July and I was going to Hokkaido South during this summer time!

Day 1 was for transport only and in day 2, I visited Sapporo!

(1) Sapporo JR Station

(2) Odori Park

(3) The wonderful Beer Festival!

Price of Yen is so high that I don’t think I will do a lot of shopping this time. Yet, January is the month of sales - this gives me some expectation!

Years ago I went shopping in Japan with Karen, she said, "Don’t think too much, simply put all of the merchandises in the shopping bag and decide it later!" This is classic. And finally I chose too much and had to put some back…you know they were 50%-70%off!

But this is not the case today. I can’t see many good products here, even in "Comme Ca Ism". Maybe it is because of the bad economic environment? Anyway I simply bought some clothes for Adrian.

I have to recommend "Lalaport" shopping center to you all - It is as big as three Festival Walk’s! Actually you need one whole day to visit the shopping center and for window shopping you use half day already! There are lots of fashionable items and I bought something for Adrian to wear!

Adrian seldom faces the camera with a smile! Although we didn’t visit Disney Sea, it is still good that Adrian is happy in Disney store. He faces the camera with smile and it is a pleasant surprise!

As Grandpa likes car very much, papa brought us to Toyota city showcase in the trip. By the way, if you want to try and drive the cars there, you must have an international license, and it’s best that you book online before you come. We waited for two hours to try the car, but it would be much longer if we didn’t book online! Anyway we just walked around before our turn to drive. Near Toyota city showcase it is the Venus Fort that mommy and grandma like a lot! Actually there are quite a lot of good places in Odaiba such as Rainbow Bridge and Little Hong Kong, but we didn’t have enough time to visit them all!

I remember that I visited Odaiba with my friend long time ago, and at that time we took more time to get to there. But now, it takes only 30 minutes by train!

What a large and windy area!

Grandpa, papa and Adrian–>Three car-lovers!

Price of Yen keep rising and I found that I spent quite a lot of money on "food" in Japan. For example, a bowl of noodle or rice with pork chop costs me HK$80-100! Fortunately, Daddy and I found a restaurant in Ueno and it provides buffet of HK$200 per head! We chose Sabu Sabu last time and it provided us with different kinds of meat, snow crab and dessert! So we decided to go there again with grandparents and Adrian in this trip!

Oh my! The restaurant doesn’t offer snow crab this time, unless we pay extra! Anyway we still have meat, dessert and drinks! It is still a low price for buffet in Tokyo!

Frankly, the food is not excellent, but no food is bad in Japan you know! It is much better than eating noodle or pork chop everyday! And it offers ice cream too! That’s why I go there again!

Mother of Adrian’s friend To To told us that Ueno Zoo is a good place to visit, and I also read about this place in the travel book. So, let’s visit it in day 2!

Weather is fine today, and there are a lot of animals that Adrian haven’t seen before. The number of animals here is greater than Ocean Park’s, and staffs often introduce the animals to us. Of course we don’t understand Japanese, but it is good to see the staffs feeding the animals!

In order to have enough time to see the animals, we come here early in the morning. You can see 4 to 6 species of bear, 2 species of penguin, lions, tigers and elephants here. The zoo is divided into 2 parts, one of them has lions, tigers and elephants, another one’s got sheep and rabbits. We are not allowed to feed them, but it is good experience for kids to touch them.

We even see monkeys, birds, bats, orangutans and more here!

They are my orangutans!

Our family stayed in Tokyo for eight days! Actually most of Adrian’s friends have had travel experience, but this was the first time for him!

This was the first time I brought Adrian to travel and I was so excited! We were going to Tokyo! We had three shopping days in the trip and the other three days were for Ueno zoo, Disney Sea and Motherfarm!

Unfortunately the weather was not good at the day we planned to visit Disney Sea, so finally we didn’t go there…

Another purpose of this trip was to Visit Haru and Auntie Grace, so I’ve made a call and we planned to go to Motherfarm together! It was such a great place!

Yen was quite expensive, but I couldn’t stop shopping! What’s more discount was everywhere in January.

How was the weather? It was fine except the day we wanted to go to Disney Sea. Temperature was around 3-8 and I let Adrian wear a lot!

In Shibuya you can find a lovely sushi place where you can have sushi of 100Yen each! I have tried the food there, the quality is good with its unbeatable price! If you are going there to try the sushi too, don’t forget to order some sea urchin sushi that is also at the same price!

Many people like Japanese cuisine a lot, so in this entry I am going to show you what I have tried in Tokyo! The first one is a noodle place where you order the food by a machine - it is so interesting that you could order the types of noodles and soup without the help of a waiter!

I like crepe too! And if you have tried crepe in Japan, you would know that its taste is very good with the Japan butter!
