Day 4 - Feb 7, 2007 Wednesday

Today, we decided not to go to Otaru小樽 as we really wanted to spend time for the 58th Snow Festival in Sapporo City.

It snowed hard though, it gave a very good touch and feel to the whole snow festival.  Check my album to see the photos we had taken.

17 teams, from various regions of the world, have participated in this year’s contest. The contest site filled with a variety of snow statues has created a remarkable international atmosphere. The participants and the public have enjoyed positive cultural exchanges and have developed new friendships.

Here is the result of the championship: The winning team is Hong Kong.

We tried the famous Hokkaido crab.  They were excellent!  We ordered 2 lunch sets (available from 11am-5pm).  The whole restaurant has 7 storey and we were led to 6/F to a lovely small Japanese style room.

We continue to walk around and eventually spent an hour in a 6-storey high Daiso Shop!

We continue our Snow Fes tour at night by walking over to Susukino site.
