this shall be my last post for my whole Hokkaido trip =(
=Hokkaido Day 7: Narita - Singapore=Time passed so quickly! We had came to the end of the trip. I was so reluctant to go back home, cos I know I will miss here very much when I got back. =(
[I am missing it so much now as I am typing now. haiz..]
There was nothing much for this day. Most of the time was spent in the air. We woke up early at 6am (ie 5am SG time) as we need to set off early to catch our flight home. After our breakfast in the restaurant in the hotel, we took the shuttle bus service provided by the hotel to Narita airport, Tokyo. We met a few SIA air steward and stewardess in the lobby while waiting for the bus, they asked us what was nice to tour around here in Tokyo and we directed them to ask our tour guide since our tour main focus was in Hokkaido. haha. What a coincident to see them here. Haha.
Here are some photos taken before setting off:
Views from my room - a big area of forest (This explained why we spent a boring night here. Haha)
Little garden at the back of the hotel
We had our breakfast at the restaurant besides this garden..
As we went home during a non peak period (ie weekday late morning), the Boeing 747 plane qw boarded was quite empty. So we were able to get seats by the window and also able to sit freely at anywhere we want. Hee.
We went to shop at the souvenir shops again after we checked in. But this time, we got limited time to shop since we checked in late.
While at the holding area, we took out our cameras to capture the last few land photos in Japan. Keke.
The sky was quite cloudy. How matching it was with my mood at that time. (Btw, this was not the plane we boarded)
Both my bro and I started to take photos of the view outside the plane as soon as the plane glided up into the sky. The thing is I didn't know he was taking almost the same shot as me since we were sitting alone besides the window, with one taking the front seat and the other at the back. Cool.
His shot (got wide angle function)
Mine (no wide view function). See the difference between one owning a in-between-SLR-and-normal-digital-type of camera and the other who have a quite-outdated-normal-digital camera? Haha.
Goodbye Japan~ *disappointed*
I had a sleep before lunch was served to us. I thought I can survive till lunch time by killing the time with movies, but i was so tired and sleepy. Thus, I killed the time with my beauty sleep. Lol.
My scary just-woke-up pale look =O
Lunch was slightly nicer than the one I had on board on the first day. I had forgotten what was the main dish as I only took down the photo of the dessert that came with the main dish. Haha.
See how blue the sky was during my lunch time! It is so clear and sunny then, to the extend that I need to pull down the panel to shade away the glaring sunlight.
Piggy me went back to sleep after sometime. Haha. So strange, I didn't feel like watching any movies at that time. All I knew is that I was very drowsy for the whole day. Wonder whether it was because I was feeling reluctant to go home even though I already started to miss my comfy bed and pooh bear so much. Hahaha. So contradicting. zzz...
Time for tea break and another photo taking session. Haha.
Ice cream again =.= But this time. it was a more classy brand and there was no sandwich as compared to the first meal on board.
Wonder which country does the land beneath belongs to? Hmmm..
My bro went over to the other side to take this. (Rem i mentioned that this plane was quite empty? Haha) The sky was so different on both sides.
We were very close to landing. Home sweet home~ Hahaha. (ps: see that little plane shadow? so contrasting. haha.)
Here are some of the items we bought. Don't drool =p
The milk sweet is so nice~ chewy type of sweet with full of milky taste. Too bad my mum only bought 1 packet home. The macha muachee is tasty too. It has a thick macha taste with soft melty texture and the red bean isn't too sweet! The rest are not bad too. Haha.
This cheerful looking fortune cate lights up my mood everytime I see it. Haha. My mum set her eyes on this the very moment we stepped into the shop at the holding area in the airport on the way home. Guess it was really fated that it was my mum who bought the very last piece home.
Of cos not forgetting the products from the famous Ishiya 白い恋人 factory. Look at the assorted sizes we bought. Haha. Among them, only 1 box were left for our own consumption. Below is one of thier new seires of product (I assumed). It was some chocolate wafer sticks with different flavours. Quite special taste.
For the bigger sizes, after you peeled off the green wrapper, there is a white box to be removed, and the final packaging is a metal tin box. The Japanese are so particular about packaging! For those smaller sizes, there is only green wrapper and a paper box containing the biscuits. Haha. No wonder the bigger sizes are sold at slightly higher pricing.
These belong to me. Haha. Kinda obvious right? Hello kitty stuff again! Haha. I bought them from the 100yen shop in Sapporo together with other non-hello kitty stuff. Haha.
I really miss Hokkaido very much - the relaxing pace, wonderful weather and kind and freindly people. I want to go Japan!! This shall be my next trip if possible. Haha. Other than Japan, I also want to go Taiwan, Thailan, Korea, Australia and the list goes on.. keke..
