Last of Hokkaido

Our last day in Sapporo was a bit uneventful. Aside from the hangovers we had, we were just exhausted. Our trip to Hokkaido was wonderfully jam packed from head to toe, and we were ready to go home. Noone wanted to decide what to do. We did, however, enjoy a few more bits of Sapporo before heading back to the airport.

This is a covered street which runs through Susukino, a very popular entertainment district. There are all kinds of things to do and see, and places to eat everywhere. It was a cool place. We went into an arcade, and a vintage clothing shop where a used ralph lauren knit sweater cost over 15,000 yen!!!! That's about $150 people!!! I couldn't believe it! Vinage and used apparently have different meanings here.


We decided we had to have one more round of Sapporo ramen before we left and decided the best place to do this would be at a place called Ramen Street. However, we were wrong. There were better places we could have gone, even the airport had better ramen.


But, I suppose the experience was cool. We walked down a street lined with po-dunk ramen shops. The guy that served our Ramen did so with a cigarette hanging out of his mouth, which had been perched on his mouth during the cooking of this ramen. He was nice enough though.


Oishi ramen, Marta? We were tired, hungry, and a bit hungover (not to mention cold), so it tasted good all the same.


At the train station, on our way to the airport, I noticed these magazines in a convenience store window. You wouldn't believe the hype here about Obama. I can't imagine what it'd be like back home. The title here reads, Big Comic.
