Daddy in Japan!   

Hi everyone!
As you know my father came to visit me in Sapporo for 3 weeks.
It was very tiring but a lot of fun! I've been travelling for 5 years now and that was the first time we travelled together...
He came many times to see me working with children, took part of the conversations in Chit Chat cafe, and saw me singing.
For him it was also an opportunity to see not only the scenaries in Japan but also the real Japanese life.
He loved the snow festival and took a lot of pictures...i loved it too, particularly the ice sculpture with different endangered species from Hokkaido.

We first visited Noboribetsu and enjoyed the hot spring there. I didn't think it would be so nice in winter but... at least for people who love silence, trails in the nature, and the hot spring!
After that we flew to Tokyo, took the Shinkansen to go to Kyoto and the train to Nara where we saw wonderful temples and experienced the famous Ryokan. One of them was situated just in front of Kyoto river, in Potoncho street exactly, where we were taken care very well.

In Tokyo we wanted to try the "Capsule hotel 105", hot bath included...amazing experience! I loved it personnally even though it was quite expensive for woman.
Of course no need to say that Japanese restaurants, sushi bar and green tea was a big part of our trip...Coming to Japan without eating Japanese food would be a shame! It is a part of the Japanese culture.

When we came back to Sapporo, there was no ice sculptures anymore...such a shame!
My father left last Saturday and brought back in France unforgettable memories...Japan has never been a country he planned to visit before, but he was so happy for coming here, meeting my bosses, my friends, my lovely children, being wished his birthday, that I could see his eyes shining...
