Thanks! It took me so many months too, before I found the time and resolve to get it done! :P

I still have previous HK, BKK, Europe, Melbourne etc trips yet to post up, but those might only be interesting to people who went on the trips with me...

D204 Waah all the 滝s have frozen?

D205 the hinamatsuri stuffs are quite cute ^^
i have that black black chewing gum and katsuo furikake too hhahahaha.

D206 the ice/snow sculptures look really cool!

D204 Yes, those frozen waterfalls are quite a sight to behold indeed! :P

D205 I was wondering if the hina matsuri dolls have any particular significance as they were mostly found in hotel lobbies (as far as I'd seen)...

I love the furikake!!! Luckily some can be found at Daiso! :P

D206 I wasn't interested in ice sculptures at first, but being in front of the masterpieces is really an eye opening experience. Watch out for my Sapporo Snow Festival pics! :P

ps: not sure about the significance of hina dolls for hotel lobbies too. maybe to scare evil away hahaha.
