Winter Break

This winter I had three and a half months holiday. My original plans where to go to New Zealand and Australia and enjoy the sun, but I ran out of money. 

I found a job as a ski instructor in a Japanese resort called Niseko. The main village was called Hirafu, it was a little village of three main streets, just full of Australian's. They're a funny bunch of people the Australian's, but I do love them. I met some amazing people while working there. I have many stories to tell unfortunately I can not talk about them on this blog, some stories you just don't want your Mum to know about...

I was also working at night time as a waiter in an Italian restaurant called "Niseko Pizza".  I was working 14 hours a day, but it paid off... 

If only they were € notes

I'm know back at University, back to real life...

Trip To Saporo Part 2

After a long and busy winter, I have finally found time to restart my blog. If you remember last November some friends and I went to Sapporo for a long week. We spent the first couple of days skiing and decided to spend the last day in Sapporo City. We woke up to a snow storm but still decided to go and visit Sapporo's brewery.

Next to the brewery was a famous lamb restaurant. Genghis Kahn, a lamb barbecue named after the Mongolian warrior. It's unique to Hokkaido and especially popular at beer halls throughout the city many with their own original sauce in which you dip the lamb in after grilled.

After launch we went to visit the Nippon Ham Fighters (Sapporo's professional baseball team) training grounds. Unfortunately we were not allowed in, even thought we said we came all the way from Europe... They weren't interested!!! Maybe should have said I was a Yankee's scout! 

Sapporo is know in Japan for it's food, especially sea food. That night we decided to go and try the famous crab in Hokkaido. It was very expensive but extremely tasty.

The crab was delicious but unfortunately there is not a lot of meat on a crab... We finish are dinner at McDonalds!
