  Just got back from a little jaunt in Hokkaido, Japan. As usual it did not disappoint. I've been to quite a few places for skiing, and there is something about the snow in Hokkaido that is different. It's like cotton. It's as soft as the peach fuzz on a baby angel's ass. No, seriously, it's like skiing on a cloud. Unfortunately I am not the most talented or seasoned skiier so I'm not very graceful on the slopes, but I get the job done without injuring myself or anyone around me :-). The thing about skiing is that even if you don't crash in some dramatic way, it still hurts. You find yourself aching in places you didn't even know you had muscles. Probably one of the best workouts in the world!
  
  So this picture was taken at the half way there pit stop. I was just so happy to finally be surrounded by snow again. Living in HK I really REALLY miss distinctive four seasons. I miss the sweltering heat of the summer that fades into colorful and crisp autumn that fades into ass whoopingly cold winter and onto perfectly mild spring... At least I got some snow :-)
  
  
  And this is Mt. Yotei. What a view huh?
  
  
  There is this cute little bar  there with a coke vending machine for a front door and an original Banksy just randomly on a wall behind a booth that was done years ago, I think before he got famous.
  
  
  Every morning there was a different snowman outside of this hotel. I actually watched one of the employees make one and let me tell you that they took it VERY seriously.
  
  
  Big ass snow flakes!
  
  
  So it may just be that the english translation is a little off, but can anyone out there tell me what a seaquirt is?? I am dying with curiosity since I didn't have the balls to try it for fear that it really was the "squirt" of some sea animal...
