さっぽろ - Sapporo

Got back from my trip up to Sapporo this week. Such a dope place. There were about twenty or so of us from Yamagata that went up to see the snow festival that is held every year. It's only about an hour flight from Sendai and we got in Friday evening. That night I met up with some other friends and went to the bar you see in the video. These guys just busted that act out of nowhere, we were not expecting that at all. Good thing I actually brought my camera this time! but I filled the memory card in one go shooting that performance, but luckily I had a smaller spare so I could get some shots of the festival. The next day we got up about 7:30 to ride and it turned out to be a good day considering I went to bed at about 4am the night before. The next day was just meandering around the snow festival looking at huge blocks of snow and ice carved into amazing and sometimes barely recognizable statues. Oh, yeah, the night after riding we all went to the Sapporo beer factory for a huge all you can eat/drink dinner. Needless to say copious amounts of beer were consumed, as well as plate after plate of meat for the grills set at each table. Peep the pics on the next post and I will be posting more as well in a few...
