Snow Trip

Last Christmas i went to Niseko which is a small town in the mountains of north japan for a snowboard trip with my cousin and i must say it was amazing, never before have i seen snow like the snow we boarded in. the snow we found in certain areas was at least almost 3m high. We spent a week there and then another week in Tokyo exploring the shops and restaurants. While in Niseko we stayed in a 5 star hotel and the receptionist and other staff that worked there were very good English speakers so we didn't have to speak Japanese every second we were out.

The Slopes stayed open until around 10:30pm so we spent every night snowboarding until then and after we would come back for a hot shower, dinner and a movie (we had brought many movies to watch on the laptop).
Our food was sourced from the local mini-mart and when we weren't at the Irish pub we were at the hotel eating Raman,Chocolate,Fried Chicken, and sushi (not generally in that order).

Few Photos from the trip in Niseko:





The week we spent in Tokyo was great unfortunately my battery on my camera broke and wouldn't charge so i didn't get any photos apart from the ones on my mobile and what i took on my video camera. We went to Akiba (short for Akiabara) twice which is the electric town of Tokyo. It was amazing store after store of Computer's/parts, Game Stores, Anime Stores, TV Stores and Parts stores. However the best deals can be found in the smaller shop's which stock the same equipment but for about 15%-25% Less. There i picked up my new unlocked iphone and went to the hobby stores to pick up a few Warhammer bitz that i never have seen for sale anywhere else as well as a few Collectible's (including a Metal Gear Solid Snake Figurine priced at over $300AUD but got it there for $50AUD an absolute bargain.

So yeah the week pretty much repeated that but with a few more restaurant dinners and train trips.

Was an amazing 2 weeks and ill definitely go back.
