The 11th trip to Japan on 2 - 10 Feb. '08
This trip travel mainly in Hokkaido, the northern island.

I wish to see 3 things from this trip ..
1st is Tancho or Japanese red crown crane in Kushiro
The weather there's extremely cold .. - -'
Although the sky is clear and the sun brightly shine but temperature is about -5 at day time and below -15 in the night!!

2nd, to see Snow Festival or Yuki Matsuri from 3 sites - Susukino, Odori Park and Sato land.

And the last is to see Juhyo ( Snow Monster ) at Mt.Zao in Yamagata Pref.

Thanks god .. I got them all .. ^^

But bad luck! .. I lost one of CF card which contain lot of pictures that I really like them ... T____________T


Yuki-chan ( Snow ) always be with me everyday in this trip .. ^^
And I travel near Valentine's festival .. so .. I named this trip as "白い恋人" ( Shiroi Koibito ) .. or "the White Sweetheart" ;)
( but not related to Ishiya's very well know biscuits ^^' )
