japan!

konnichiwa!

having the last issue of the season finished, its time to hit the road again. destination: hokkaido/japan! as none of our crew (peter könig, kevin bäckström, fips strauss, alex schiller, öfi and myself) has ever been to japan, we are of course all super excited.


arriving late night in our first hotel in sapporo, the first action was of course to check out the infamous japanese 'full service' toilets with integrated 'ass shower'...

japanese toilet experience: fun for the whole family :)

alex didn't dare to sit on it for the first try. result was a wet, curious öfi who though he was watching from a safe distance. being a polite guy, alex of course did clean up the mess.

toyota hiace '10 seater'... 

next morning, it was time to pick up the rental car and i got the first impression, how much fun it is to make a phonecall. the guy from the rental didn't speak english at all, but after a few 'mushi mushi's, we somehow managed to get a pickup from the hotel to the rental car place. i had reserved a 'rearry rearry big car', a toyota hiace 10 seater. turned out, we barely were able to get all the gear in. all the guys in the back had to climb over the driver's seat to the rear.

finding to niseko, especially navigating through sapporo was also quite a mission, but we had the route on google earth and we managed to get through smooth. so after 2 days of traveling, we finally made it to niseko!
