2010.07.15
had breakfast (buffet again) in the hotel compound
(but if walk, will take around 7mins to reach there)
food as as before but the scenery was really nice
left Alpha Hotel,夕張 right after breakfast
i didn't visit their souvenirs shop there T_T
took around 2.5 hours and reach 小樽
went to take photos in the Hokkaido's Malacca...
it's only a place to take photos and
it's really nice there (the scenery i mean)
but it's really hot...
followed by lunch somewhere nearby
saw something called angel fish there
(really really small like hmmm, ant?)
then had set lunch there
the lunch is kinda too much for us
but the fish was really nice
then time to shop again...
a lot of crabs selling there
+ curry BEAR meat...
of cuz i didn't buy those
but a bottle of wasabi sesame
tasted it during the lunch
and it's tasted really good
not that spicy and good smelling for your rice
then saw some keychains there and bought a bit of them
(actually not a bit, quite a number course they are kinda nice)
then went to 北一哨子
this is somewhere famous for it's glassware
we walked from the middle till the end 1st
then walked back again from there
so we tasted chocolate on the way there
Le Tao, from my opinion
the chocolate is not that nice in taste
you can hardly feel the smell of chocolate in your mouth
+ it's kinda hard
but the miracle was
it doesn't melt in your mouth for a long time
then we reached the famous musical box shop there
there's a steam clock in front of the shop
and it's the one of the 2 left over steam clock in the world
entered the shop
full of fancy musical box (not my type)
then went to 2nd floor
it's better but the design is kinda too western
so back to 1st floor again and spent quite some time there
finally found nice one near the entrance there
but it's kinda expensive
walked around again found nothing but my sis found one
asked her bout it
then decided to buy it (cost around 10000 yen, ~RM400)
it's expensive but it's really nice
and equipped with song "sakura sakura"
then saw another musical kimono rabbit doll
it's really nice also
and my sis bought it (it's around 5000+yen, ~RM200)
left the shop quickly (running out of time)
2 hours were really not enough to shop the whole street...
then went to the glassware house
didn't plan to buy anything course they'll break easily
but i saw some shooter glasses are really nice in design
but only one is nice to be hold
feels like buying but spent quite a lot just now...
but ended up having a pair of it
course i would not be here next time...
~700 yen gone again...
then next one is the Le TAO chocolate store
tried their chocolate again (still not nice)
due to the promoter introduced us a cake
my sis bought it with bear shaped chocolate
+ i bought a chocolate pudding there
ate the pudding in bus and it's taste not that sweet
the essence of chocolate is existed strongly
it's really soft in texture also
next was thousand yen shop (+tax = 1050 yen)
bought jinbei + t-shirt there
and went back up to the bakery shop
and bought 5 pieces of layer cake there
(from the sample it smelled and tasted really nice
but my sis said that the 1 i bought in Kobe last time was better)
went up to other Le TAO for it's cake
bought a really nice looking cake but not delicious at all...
times up
back to the bus again
when going back
pass-by a weird costume store (english style)
and bought a multi-layered soft-cream on the way back
finished touring 小樽
next will be in 札幌
went to the very nice in looking 白い恋人 factory
it's just outside of the factory
course we're not allowed to go in
but outside is already very nice
we didn't even have enough time to take photo outside...
this place is something like disneyland without rides
(didn't even have time to visit their shop)
it's the visiting to 神宮 after that
in 北海道, there's only 1 神宮 there
nothing special course we couldn't go in
and the shop of selling amulet was close T_T
i really wanna buy amulets a lot in japan
ended up with 狸小路, rows of shops (japan's mall style)
bought a lot of stuffs in the 1st store (course cheaper than other)
spent around 8000 yen there...
then walked around the shops
saw maid cafe but won't have time to go there
nothing special around
so went to sports wear to see shoes
saw a lot of nice nike shoes XD
but which one should i go for???
there's around 3-5 i like...
nvm
time for dinner (spent a lot of time thinking)
.....
it's kinda late already, so i'll stop here and cont tomorrow
if i don't sleep now, i can't continue my vacation tomorrow
continue in writing again (today is July 22nd, 2010)
almost a week already
now i continue my day 3
where was i...
(after reading everything above)
oh dinner...
the dinner was RAMEN
this ramen shop is kinda famous in japan
it has a lot of franchise in Japan
the soup was not bad
the noodles is kinda thin if compare with those i had
but it's not that chewy
so it's just so-so for me
after dinner called mom about the shoes i want in the bus
then she allowed me to buy 2 pairs XD
i'm so happy XD
going to hotel, novotel
it's kinda near to the city we went just now
after taking shower
went out to have a walk
there's a festival there
a lot of people chit-chatting there
so we walked around and went back around an hour later
that's the end of that day
