Have managed to be un-Dellz0red in Sendai! See the posts that have been done. :)
Currently we are in Hakodate (tomorrow we head for Sendai, leaving Hokkaido for the main island of Honshu). We had full intention of using this time to post about the vacation thus far, but the hotel provides Dell workstations for people to use (of all things), and for whatever reason they are not recognizing any of my USB dongles. So no pictures… and without pictures to discuss I find that I don’t know what to write about!
So what we are going to do is try again from Sendai tomorrow and see if we can get things working. I’ll leave you with these teasers, one for each day that we have been here:
- Sapporo, Hokkaido - Welcomed by a well-known Japanese hero.
- Otaru, Hokkaido - No snow (yet), but we went skiing.
- Toya, Hokkaido - Quite the steamy undertaking.
- Hakodate, Hokkaido - “Hey… see that sign?” quoth Herman, in The Simpsons.
Andrew, if you are reading this… practice the following saying for your arrival later this week:
Hiragana: もうひとつおねあいします。
Romaji: mou hitotsu onegai shimasu
Sound-alike: moe he-taught-sue oh-ne-gai she-moss
Trust me, you shall need it.
