Back to Tokyo

Before we took a flight back to Tokyo yesterday, Daniel climbed up to the peak again craving for deep powder snow while Ayumi took it easy on lower hills after the peak trip on the previous day.

We had no plan today except for doing a laundry to prepare for our Thailand trip that starts tomorrow, but we spontaneously decided to go to Ghibli Museum as the weather was nice.


We enjoyed a short film "Chuu-zumou (mice sumo?)", learned about the production process and filled our stomach at Cafe Straw Hat. Viva Ghibli!

We are snowboarding in Niseko

We apoligize for not updating promptly. After 5 days of train ride, we are having a great time snowboarding from 0830 to 2000 in Niseko now.

It has been windy and not all the lifts are operating, but the slopes we've been so far are diverse and we've been training some ground tricks. Daniel made 180 and Ayumi almost made 90. Good progress so far.

We bought lots of food at a supermarket this afternoon. The rest of our stay should be cheap, we hope. Oh yeah, Swedish ski (and snowboard) fanatics have already reached here. Daniel is not the only Swedish in this village now.

Pictures are coming up soon!
