Sunday December 26 (Japan time)
So today I talked to family over Skype. =) I did not really do anything too exciting until later in the evening. I started reading a book I bought two or so months back, lol. I also secretly downloaded a game on my iPod =) So I've been poking at that too, recently. But anyhow, the fun starts at around 7PM. A group of us gathered on the first floor and went to an all you can eat/drink restaurant. (Lamb meat, specifically) But yea, it was an interesting experience. =) The food was okay but their drink menu was quite extensive. A lot of the meat had a lot of fat... So yea, it wasn't too appetizing. Beth was also with us so we could not inhale the vegetables. (She's a vegetarian, lol) But yes, a few people got really drunk and then there was me and two other Macau guys flapping away in Cantonese, lol. It's been awhile since I last spoke in Cantonese... -sigh- Anyhow, I guess it is worthy to note that we all wore these little plastic coveralls while eating to prevent our clothes from getting dirty. We also sat in a large ball-room like area so yea.. the atmosphere was rather confusing, lol.
We left the restaurant at around 9PM... A few of us walked back while the drunkards took the train, lol. If I did not stress this enough in previous posts... here it is again. The sidewalks/roads on Sapporo are insanely slippery. It was seriously a long stretch of pure ice from the restaurant to our living quarters. I should have taken a picture but I did not bring my camera, unfortunately... But yea, that ends the night. =) I had troubles sleeping because I was getting cooked out of my room, lol.
Monday December 27 (Japan time)
Today I met up with Megumi and Christine. =) We went to an observation tower and I took many photos, lol... We sat down and chat over coffee and cake. I took a picture of the wall because it reminded me of Geology. (Lol)

We all went to Kaitenzushi because Christine always wanted to go to one but never really had the chance to, lol. I ate 30CAD worth of sushi today. =) It was well worth it, lol. We parted ways at around 7:30PM. I decided to stay at the station and shop around, lol. I decided to stop shopping at around 8:30. =) On my way home, I bought a bag of apples from the underground supermarket, lol. But yea, nothing too, too exciting. =)
Tuesday December 28 (Japan time)
Today was a rather fun day. =) Dinara, Beth and I went to this New Years event thingy for International Students. There we met up with John, Bibi, Christine, Abdy and Alex. We got to wear traditional outfits for free! =) I took a few random photos. The lady dressing me up said I was too thin as she was wrapping the belt around my waist... T-T And they also told me to eat more... I eat a lot, thank you. =( -sigh-

After that, we all went to another all you can eat/drink lamb restaurant. =) There I took some more pictures! It was a fun night. =) I ended it with some ice cream at some fancy place. Happy, happy! Anyhow, I got home at around 10PM. =) Alex was really drunk, lol.
