Japan - 12th Dec Niseko

12th Dec
Last day of our snowboard................ the next session will prob be in Aussie when i am acting the role that i love: student.

*
Lunch had our last ramen at the same ramen stall at Niseko.
Popolo.
some "omen" flavoured ramen which ended up to be this huge disgusting looking gooey pukey eggggg........................
i carefully picked it up, hoping that the yeeeeeellowish thing doesnt contaminate my soup.

nevertheless, the soup was yummy. thick and yummy.
if any of you by any chance will be heading to Niseko, do try out that ramen. its behind this niseko vistor welcome centre.
but errr. not very cheap. close to $20 (STANDARD!!)
*
ramen is supposingly one of their cheapest food there... but it just doesnt seem that way? o.o ok prob it is if comparing w sushi...
but ramen still rox. love ramen.

*
quickly, let's skip to dinner.
*
this japanese restaurant across Downtown Cafe and thqat Ah Bu Teahouse.


paying for quality :)
well, holiday is to splurge, right? if only my everyday can be this way.............. =
*
what's good after dinner?
laying on the thick pile of snowwwww!!

*
photo below was tken during our last snowboarding session back to our hotel..

(we can actually snowboard back :) the hotels are usually just next to the ski slopes unless those cheaper ones...)

*
forgot that we've to return our gear.... so had to go all the way back downhill.... but well. last few photos .

before we sob goodbye to the slopes.

Niseko Alpen was full on the last day of our stay at Niseko.
Had to shift to Hirafutei... a much better but expensive hotel.
service wise i still like Niseko Alpen.
oh ya... i forgot to mentioned this manager he was kind to drive us to his competitor... Hirafutei. we had sooooo many luggage w us and he offered to drive us downhill to hirafutei. sadly i forgot to take his name to compliment him... ): still, im sure such nicce people who goes all the way to service people will sure get recognisation, someday.

*
anyway, our new room:

tradition japanese room (they've western ones too.. cheaper but we prefer the this!)

even served this sweet thing... which i do not quite like it :X

and their TEA <3> assortment :D

*

my purchases for the day!

o and the stitch, boyly caught it for me :D
he ddid that in secret just to surprise me. i was waiting at the lobby to check in at that point of time.. :) * hugs*

and the melon jelly? was good. think more than 10buck... close to 20? cant remember. for like 15 small thing?

but its real good stuff. that yabuta (how do you spell it?) melon...

cheesecake?do not really like it... too lemony... and err. sweet?

*

after the hotspring, and massage (oh yes! we went for massage SGD70/30min for the last two night!! was shiokkkk... snowboarding is tiring ok!), boyly was hungry.

we went to the lobby to grab some bite.

i saw this cute drink and decided to give it a try as they do not have my milkkkkkkkkk

was err... ok? like frizzy yakult.
haha.

boyly got himself some fried chicken pieces from the hot menu machine...

was pretty good. tasty. slightly not a fried.. but pretty yummy.

i really like japan for their vending machines too. they've got like a huge variety of choices.... milk in glass bottle too! its like it usually is in a row of diff machines and you get to choose from food to drinks.

even ciggy and beer too! (no. underage cant purchase. they require a card to buy)

how cool is that? :D

vending machine roxxx.
