Otaru is popular among tourists in Hokkaido, as we see Taiwanese and Caucasians throng the place.
It is definitely worth a visit, especially if you're shopping for souvenirs.
They have a lot of SEAFOOD!
Crabs, lobsters, octopus, cuttlefish, scallops.
Seriously, I did not buy enough seafood from there!
As a noob, I didn't even know their seafood was so cheap until my mum and aunt told me when I was back home.
Should have bought more! =S
A packet of seasoned scallops costing 1050 yen is selling for double the price in Tokyo.
Mr KFC..looks different in a foreign land. Lynette says he looks more like a japanese than ever...
Otaru has nice weather! A clear, azure blue sky =)
Humungous shelfish and crabs...A LOT of them.
By the famous Otaru bridge, can't believe we walked past it w/o noticing!
Roadside Artists... Elderly, yet talented.
It's 22.1 degree celsius. We were secretly glad to be away from Singapore's humid and hot weather. Hehe.
Ice cream mascots! And Lynette's infatuation with them =P
This exquisite piece is made of glass, can you believe it?
This is the music box museum, all music boxes are made of glass too! Otaru's specialty!
Tired? Call for a rickshaw.
Otaru post office. yubin kyo-ku. Haha.
A variety of pretty music boxes for you to choose! But they were super ex! =X
A day spent in Otaru, looking at glasswares, being made into anything possible, we actually saw a glass pen (and tested it out, cool!)
Looking at glass jewellery and bought some (the only ones we could afford!)
Looking at live seafood, looking at all sorts of music boxes, listening to their melody and tunes.
I'm mesmerised by Otaru... are you?
Caught a train back to Sapporo, had our favourite bento seto again!
Our train back to Tokyo was at 10pm but we were ultra early at 7 plus, i think you know the reason why.
Then we walked around the Sapporo stn, which was getting quite deserted as almost all the shops closed at 9pm!
What do you do when you're bored? Snap pics!
Tired from the lugging..
As promised, my green/black 'pillow' and lynette's red 'bolster'.
Looks comfy?
A whole load to carry!
