Hokkaido
I'm back from Hokkaido. Land of zilch internet access, lots of bus riding, and shit piles of seafood. Here is a summary of my adventures:
1. Typhoon #18 (apparently the Japanese do not name their typhoons) =
a. no electricity such that the "best" meal of the trip is eaten in the dark with some candles.
b. one of the "best" night views in the world (Hokadate) is off limits as the sky cart thing is closed.
c. bus ride is unbearably shaky as wind rocks bus A LOT
d. Getting off the bus includes things flying in eyes every three seconds
2. Taking two steam baths a day = super itchy skin
3. Scallops, no matter how fresh, eaten every meal of the day for a week = no scallops for a LONG ASS time.
4. Hokkaido is boring in September (the main two attractions, lavenders and snow are not available for viewing in September. The other attraction, the changing of the leaves, not happening until next month)
5. Finishing your book on the third day of the trip with a three hour wait at the airport and a 3 1/2 hr plane flight is a STUPID STUPID STUPID thing to do.
That was about it. We ate a lot of seafood, did some sightseeing. Mum and me bonded some. Didn't buy much stuff, ate a lot of chocolate. Apparently Hokkaido milk is very good (which it is), and their chocolate is good too (which it is too). Lots of mom and daughter pairs on the trip. I was rather surprised. Out of 28 people, there were four mom/daughter pairs. Apparently my mom and me are the ones that don't look like mom/daughter the most (which is, to me, surprising).
