When we reached the airport in Japan, we took a bus to Rusutsu resort. It had 3 mountains. They were east mountain, west mountain and Mt.Isola. The snow was powdery. Sometimes I got stuck in the soft snow during skiing. In the last two days of skiing, we skied at Mt.Isola. I could ski parallel easily on east and west mountains, but not at Mt.Isola. There were two reasons. First, The slopes were steep. Second, they were icy, which was also why I fell several times. My father thought it was because I was too close to him.
On some days, we had lunch at a cafeteria at east mountain. A bowl of ramen which cost 700 yen was big. There was also a merry-go-round. It was free of charge. When we went back to the hotel, I played my PSP. After seven days in the resort, we went to Sapporo city. We shopped at Ario mall. We had noodles with a few pieces of meat, vegetables and egg yolk on it at one of the eateries. I didn't know what it was, but it tasted good .
Then we went to the former governor's building of Hokkaido. There were exhibition rooms showing the history of Hokkaido. Afterwards, we went to T38 which was at the top floor of JR building. People could look out of a window in the toilet. I could see the wind carry the snow upwards.
On 22nd December , we came back to Singapore. I look forward to another trip!
