Hokkaido - a few candid snaps.

Finally! Some photo's from my adventures in snowy Hokkaido, early February. Thanks to my friends who actually take good pictures, I have some nice ones to show here...




First - what it means to be drafted into the Sapporo military... snow sculpting! Of course, that's exactly what comes to mind when I think of the army... grand artistic endeavours! I wonder if they make some huge stencil for chiselling out this baby? I doubt art classes are a part of military training... though in Japan, you never know!



Us crazy kids who went skiing/snowboarding... that's the before shot, and there's a reason there isn't an after shot. Let's just say I was in no condition to be photographed. I could tell from the looks I was getting as I walked back into the building after I got down the slope... icicles coming off your hair is not a good look!


On our last day, I took the opportunity to do a bit of spontaneous dancing in the snow. It was unusual, and unbeknownst to me, caught on camera... A snowy evening in Sapporo.. preeetty!!!!


Aaaw. Me and Miffy - childhood friends reunited.


Our first night. Priority: finding a nice izakaya where we can stuff ourselves stupid... and drink some really delicious cocktail conconctions (and beer for the non-adventurous lads.. yes Rogi that's you, haha!).

Yay! Tourists!!!!!

What is possible when we are willing to change the things that don't work for us? I am becoming more aware of what is truly possible in life all the time, and the fun and joy available to me - to everyone in fact! Welcome to my world and my adventures...
