Otaru

Today I went outside Sapporo to a little harbour town called Otaru

The venice of japan, apparently, i'm thinking more the cornwall of japan

There were lots of glass blowing houses and shops, and the town was very musical. Lots of music boxes and town clocks with special features, one of them produced steam on the hour.

This is the old train line

 It was actually sunny, well for the morning at least

I have overspent today! used my card to get some totoro goods in a shop with a floor dedicated to Ghibli <3 Brought a blanket, photo frame, and some little keyrings plushes 

In one of the music box shops was a little display of the time line of music boxes! 

Bit of Hello Kitty

Some weird images

Hokkaido university

I don't go here! but I wish I did, its so big and green!!!  (I go to the art college instead)

Plymouth eat your heart out I wish our university had this much green space!

It reminded me of classic 90's scary movie based on halloween with all the americanised buildings and straight roads 

Not sure what was going on here, they were lighting candles in part of the univeristy

Headed back towards the station and went in another underground shopping mall. 

This was just colourful ad

HELLO KITTY!!!!!
