Yokohama

Up in Yokohama for a JET conference, we managed to sneak into the famous Chinatown briefly. There, steaming shuumai (dumplings) were sold on every corner, and a very brightly-coloured temple reminded us of the real thing in China.

More Sapporo

Some more pictures of our times in Sapporo. Micaela took us to the top of Mt Moiwa to a bar made entirely of ice and snow. We sipped hot wine and quite dangerous butterscotch-schnapps-thingies amongst the icicles while lights flickered under the surface of the ice (clever designers). We were also introduced to an outdoor sculpture park, which for winter had waived the entrance fee and was giving out free snowshoes. We tromped around like in days of yore, and kept our eyes peeled for mostly-submerged art.
