This blogpost covers the day of February 7th, while in Sapporo, Japan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My goal for today was simple, to obtain a Mount Moiwa Ropeway Ink stamp. Spoilers: I failed. I failed to obtain the ink stamp because I was told there was none, and wasn’t directed to any. The day was basically spent waking up at 8 AM by playing Blue Archive. I also, belatedly, downloaded my Enoshima Aquirium photo (last day). I also desired to capture the Miku 12 PM announcement properly this time. Third time a charm. The day would be spent heading to ropeway, walking to Asahiyama Memorial Park, walking to a Konbini to win a Blue Archive poster via raffles, heading back to hotel room to safely store my Blue Archive poster. I would spend the time catching up on Azur Lane, even updating it, then heading back off to Odori Park for Sapporo’s Snow winter festival. I would see new the finally finished snow sculptures crafted by other nationalities. Would take a slow walk around 2023 memory lane, try other foods, and even venture to ‘Round One’ arcade to play more Busou Shinki.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I was decently happy on this day, yet sadly felt dejected by many happenings. One after another would knock me down, and I simply became highly depressed. Not really Sapporo’s fault, or maybe it was, maybe through Japan’s supernatural faith and beliefs. Maybe as a tourist I was being effected by Japan’s faith, or something more “straight forward” such as it being winter and a foreign land. Maybe a mix of everything. I tried to enjoy my time as much as possible. I do apologize for any negative mindset and thoughts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before someone inquires as to why I haven’t eaten locally as much in restaurants, it’s because I was feeling highly uneasy. My APA hotel room & stay was horrible. I constantly felt uneasy, something to which I had to regretfully (and reluctantly) request a room change. I was frustrated, moody, and simply desired to get stuff checked off my bucket list. I was in a cranky mood. Happy to be in Japan, yet cranky because of off-beat happenings. If I was happier I would have visited more restaurants, etc. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
