– Another lovely day in Sapporo with clear skies. No clouds. Also focused on the red crab on the opposite side of the street.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This blogpost covers the day of February 5th, while in Sapporo, Japan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Woke up at 8 AM, and my usual routine. Twitter, wash-up, Azur Lane, Blue Archive, etc. Went to a nearby Konbini to eat simple breakfast. Desired to lightly explore the area, something to which I would accidently stumble across a Susukino Ice World display. It was great I had done so, it’s a great sight!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Basically spent my day exploring various festive attractions, KanColle Arcade (on two occasions), Odori Park, Tram spotting for 1 hour (even if it was highly awkward), and simply trying to see things I hadn’t seen previously. Exploring, letting my guard down, and just enjoying everything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– Observing Chinese & Korean groups breaking rules, after rules, after rules, to the constant dismay of the Japanese locals. Not only in Sapporo, but other locations across the country as well. I doubt you can cross roads to see the displays. Has to be done at crossings.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

– Oh?… Someone lost their Peach receipt. They flew (or maybe going to fly) on an Air Peach. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Searching up MM101 tells me the flight is an Osaka to Sapporo flight. They flew from Osaka to Sapporo just to be here, and early in the morning at that. This reminds me of my 2023 Japan trip requiring to take an Osaka-bound flight to Sapporo just to visit Sapporo. Nostalgic. I can remember the flight from back then of having flown through a dense cloud cover. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
