It was certainly the best weather we had during our two week stay in Japan. The sun was out, it was warm (for Tokyo standards) and all the leftover fall colours made it absolutely breathtaking strolling down the old streets of Kamakura. +++ We started the day at Shinjuku Station where I met Yuka and Junko before boarding a train to Kamakura. The ride took about an hour, and we were chatting about everything from Arashi to HK films. Later…
It’s taken me forever finish cataloguing a third of my trip. I need to hurry up and finish writing entries before I forget everything I did! Plus I”ve had to backpost all these entries! +++ So moving onto Tokyo – We took a 50-seater plane from Sapporo to Tokyo. It was the tiniest plane I’ve ever been on, but luckily there wasn’t a lot of turbulence and we landed in Tokyo safely. As we were running late, the first thing…

Actually, I had the reverse happen to me last…
To sum it up, the 5×10 Anniversary Tour Sapporo Concert was AMAZING. I’m so glad I was able to make it, despite traveling halfway across the world to see their show. Of course, it was worth it to be part of their 10th anniversary. Aside from a minor disturbance that night involving a combini-bought sandwich, I had a great time at the concert. It was starting to get dark around 5:00pm when we emerged from the station. Of course to…
