Is time to return HOME in Day 10

Day 10, Sapporo. Friday.

 



Right before we return our car in the airport, we rush to the last destination in Sapporo "Sapporo Beer Museum". According to the tour guide, this is one of the good place to visit and beside the museum have a good restaurant for some japnese chicken curry. Unfortunately with the time constraint we can just roughly browse through the museum and bought a pack of ready made japanese chicken curry go back home. (p.s. we cooked it after return to Tokyo, this japanese chicken curry tasted like Malaysia curry without coconut milk!")

 

 

The story about how the Sapporo Beer was started.

 

Once upon the time....

 

 

 

The end of the story

 

 

 

On the way to the airport...

 

 

It was firework season in Japan, we bought a pack of firework and it got forfeited in the airport. The kids were so dissapointed and asked "WHY".

 

是时候回家了。人生的旅程一幕一幕的上演然后又到了下一个终点，不停的飞跃奔跑过去。是时间无情还是我们多情，总是想在一些事情上多停留久一丁点。在某种回忆里是可以让人很难自拔，很不舍得也不愿意走过去。但我宁可有着这种感觉，代表了欢乐活出了爱；这是一个很美丽的感觉，美丽的回忆，然后化为人生路途的动力。

 

我们家的徐信徐恒徐悦也为这北海道之旅做出抗议。他们也显出难以自拔的脸孔，有声无声的在反映着这种难以自拔之中的美丽的回忆。回到了东京，他们还是久久不能释怀。常常想出古灵精探的点子再去北海道。看着听着他们的想法他们的表情，也挺搞笑也挺创意！虽然千辛万苦带着我们家的小朋友出门，大包小包，身体疲累，左想右想，前扛后拿，伤透脑筋，绞尽脑汁，雄心壮志，出钱出力，爸爸妈妈也真的太喜欢太享受在其中了。没有你们的陪伴这个旅程必定却少了许许多多的天真欢笑，美丽的歌声。因为你们的同在太阳花显得特别的灿烂开的特别的大朵，天特别的蓝，云特别的白，爱也特别甜特别多特别美。

 

去年的北海道，冰天雪地。今年的北海道，热气澎湃。为你我写下了另一个“梦”。

 

 

Day 9 Takino Park

Day 9, Sapporo. Thurday. Second half.

 

Afternoon half after the emotional lunch, drove 1hour+ to this Takino park. Then once again, everyone became crazy and lost control. We reached around 3pm. Another 3 hour more for us to hang around here.

 

 

 

 

When we entered this big dark whole then only we realize it was a giant ant home. What a nice surprise adventure! Very creative and then when read on the booklet, this park is the research forest with lot of experience is going on for the little sceintist. They developed this ant home for kids to experience how the ants live in the underground. And so, they have other insect exhibition and also forest research conducted here for kids to catch the insects in the observe how this little tiny tiny insect grow by season.

 

 

Times up! Regreted we didn't spend enough time here. Lastly, we said sayonara with this park by ride down the valcono slide. After I sat down, Ethan shouted at the back "Mummy, we have to wear the safety helmet!" WHAT!!! oh no... too late... I was being frighten all the way down. What a scary volcano slide! This Emmanuel shouted "Hooray"... oh mine!

 

Then not sure how, suddenly saw this stone men standing there. Later on we found out this was the tomb place...

 

Back to Sapporo..... Slowly and reluctantly we called it a day.

 

 

 

 

Day 8 - Fruit picking then heading to Otaru

Day 8, Lake Toya. Wednesday.

 

It was Cherry blossom season in Hokkaido, before we depart from Lake Toya, we went for fruits picking. 800 yen for adult, kids 400 yen. And then we try our best to eat whatever we can for at least 2000 yen here!

 

 

Ethan, Emmanuel so happy to be a one day farmer. Especially Ethan, enjoyed so much and he worked serious to pick the best cherry. Emmanuel just simply pick those place that he was reachable until we got to stop him to do so. After a while, he lost his interest as it was too hot and he said he wanted to sleep. Then he started to do a lot of funny face and fainted in the stroller.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We eat until we dropped. We have eaten the uncountable cherries, worth for 2000 yen. Get a little bit of sun burnt and melt in the sun. Then lost the way out from the cherry farm. Feel so tire but full of fun. Before we exit this big farm, everyone eat another mouth full of cherries. This ended our Lake Toya tour and with the uncountable cherries that can sustain us till the next year April, till the cherry bloom again.

 

 

 

After one tunnel and another tunnel, and another tunnel and

 

 

another tunnel and lot of tunnel..... Crossing lot of moutains, up hill down hill, then finally we come to the edge of the moutain and we saw a big dam. Then marked us for the journey and we almost reach Otaru again...

 

 

These boys shouted "echo...EEEEECHOOOOO....ECHO.... ECHO!!!!!"

Daddy : "AH! Maybe they will have a beer come out soon... Let's go!"

In a second, everyone run back to the car and shut the door! Scary....

 

 

Potato chips that make everyone enjoyed the journey~~~

 

We drove, we sang, we ate, kids slept. The hardworking Daddy kept up the best performance and brought us back to Otaru.

 

 

Sushi dinner and JOB WELL DONE to the Daddy! You have successfully conquered 30% of Hokkaido! Gan-Bai! We proud of you....

 

Burp~ Nice one. We ask for the bill, the waitress came and she stacked up the plate, then with one swung of her a little tag machinese on the plate from bottom up, she printed us the bill. Then we shouted "WAH......" what a hitech way to count the plate with a machine on hand. After she went off from our table, we quickly turn the plate and check it out how actually this can be done. Behind the plate it stick with a tag for scanning. "ohh.... hitech, hitech and time saving and accuracy!".

 

 

Night view of Otaru. Trying to hang around there and reluctant to go back to the hotel.
