autumn hokkaido 北海道的秋 2005 -Apa hotel room 1142


This is the second trip to hokkaido,
a different season though,
the first was during winter,
and this time round autumn.
Reached Narita (成田) International Airport at 7:30am(Japan local time),
an hour ahead of Singapore's.
didn't have a good rest on the plane,
thanks to the person in front and i was
lucky enough to have him as one of the 34 in this tour group.
ah bao,the local guide,a jovial 40+ guy reminded me of ah B, the male hong kong singer.
took another hour bus journey to Harita(羽田) Airport to catch the 10am flight,
an hour and 30 min to Sapporo(札幌) (Chitose Airport 千岁机场).
t weather was cold,
the first meal of the trip happened to be the only bbq meal.
took photos and photos, the primary aim of my trip.
the first stop was the Chitose Salmon Aquarium (千岁鲑鱼故乡馆),
the fishes were adorable, especially when they fought to seek shelter ,
after fighting against the strong river currents for long.
saw how they wriggled out of the eggs, danced in the lights,
grew to a gigantic size and a pair of shoes which were made of their skin.
saw a blue lobster, two mini soft shell crabs fighting with one another too.
dusk came early in hokkaido, around 4 pm,
by the time we came out around 3 45 pm, it was getting cold.
would like to capture the red, orange coloured trees,
but i guess one could only admire its beauty when one was physically there.
had an amazing view of the surrounding from the hotel room,
and i knew i was really far far away from you.
