HOKKAIDO 2007 EXCHANGE PROGRAMME
3dec-10dec
DAY ONE TO DAY THREE
Day 1 ~ 3 DEC
went to the airport rather early.
the last time i'd see my sister.. haha. and the next time will be about 20 days later.. xD
flight was 1125 i think. since my dad took a picture of the board thingy. haha.
on the plane.. cool view. haha.
Day two ~ 4 DEC
we visit denen club hokkaido. its a tomato farm. we are honoured to visit there as it is only opened to rare people i heard. we have to do many disinfectant jobs. this is something we have to do. see me in the room? haha. it has some dryer to blow off whatever "dust particles" on us. yea. to make us clean to touch tomatoes!
we could pluck them ourselves after wearing gloves. we asked the people how many to take.. and since they dont really understand english but they got our meaning.. so they said "many many".. how nice! haha.
i planned to bring the tomatoes back actually.. but i threw it away in the end. and glad i did. you will know why later. *grins*
TOMATOES! they had to test the sweetness before they classify the tomatoes. they are really juicy and sweet. real fresh. those that arent are known as vegetables. not fruits. haha. i tried one. was really delicious. not in the habit of eating tomatoes usually. but i find that one nice!
we went into a room to try tomato JUICE and cut tomatoes which they prepared for us. nice people!
see this place? it is quite separated from the tomato farm. its the souvenir shop, where all the stuff they grown etc are sold there. and did u realise we are in uniform! haha. yes! its super cold!! haha.. samui... lol.
see derek.. savouring the samples of orange! haha
haha! glad to be back on the bus!
went to "eat up" restaurant. haha. didnt eat much. the whole trip i didnt even felt like eating.. sort of ate for the sake of it. so i wont get gastrics! haha. so buffet is super not worth it on me.. since i will only eat like so little... yea. anyway.. so no pics of the food.. xP
hotel room key! can u spot the room number?
its at the side.. but i didnt take a pic..
and then we were crazy over the cute kawaii menus!! haha and mr choo was staring at us taking the photos of the key and menus the whole time.. and finding us.. "duh"
Day three ~ 5 DEC
early morning we made our way to noboribetsu. to have the 4 wheel buggy ride. supposedly snow mobiles but there weren't enough snow. it snowed a little in the morning though..
hmm. see the flag moving. see how strong the wind was.. okay i know u cant see it moving like that. lol
the yellow course for the buggy ride.
after that course we went for the red one. im glad i did.. after much persuasion from derek.. and my excuse of the cold didnt work cause they offered me double gloves scarf and everything. okay. it was fun anyway. yea..
a fire place there to help us WARM up.. lol
really cold!
see derek with pink ear mufflers..
shopping! at Rera mall i think. yea. some shops..
outdoor open playground..
dustbins.. tianwei and i look weird taking a photo of it okay. haha. it was like.. why are we taking photos of dustbins! haha.
clock tower. haha. actually i dont think its the famous one. this is just a clock in a tower! haha
