So the day started at 10-ish, as that is when I got out of the heavenly bed. We took my fellow roommates to the snow festival, and everyone was super nice and fun. :) We went to Odori and they all went skating (my ankles were feeling weak so I did not go).
-- Ugh, sorry. I don't feel like writing the rest of this entry, so i'll just bullet point the rest of the activities--
- Skating
- Looking at more of the sculptures- including the ones in the contest (teams from around the world making various scultupres)
- Snow ball fight
- Indian Food for dinner again (SCORE)
- Karaoke with hostel mates and Mike's friends
- Sleep
[TUESDAY Feb 8th]
I woke up around 10:30am (woohoo!)and proceeded to skype with Meg and Sarah about hotels and what we are going to do when there are here. I then went to meet up with Ryou from AIU (I met him through the Badminton club) and we went for Ramen (which Sapporo is famous for, and it was super awesome) in one of the more famous restaurants next to the train station. We had a nice conversation (and he was very helpful in telling me what places I should go to), and I found out he was leaving in 3 weeks to go for his year abroad in Russia!!
After lunch, we went for Starbucks and continued to have a nice conversation. Then we went our separate ways and I wandered over to the Ice Sculpture section of the festival. It was lovely, but a bit empty- nothing exciting was happening. I then wandered around the city some more, and I have come to realize that this city is really large- and I would totality love to live here.
I decided to go back to my hostel because my feet were hurting, and there is not much more to report.
All in all, not a too eventful but still nice.
