\ni leave tokyo this morning, close my eyes for 20 minutes, open it and all i see is white snow. i was super happy to see such beauty!
\n\"IMG_3179\"<\/a>
\nthen when i get to aomori to change trains, i couldn’t believe how deep the snow was. and yeah, i started to freeze from the bones.
\n\"IMG_3180\"<\/a>
\nthis was only aomori and i knew hokkaido was going to be a lot colder.
\n\"IMG_3181\"<\/a>
\ni was waiting at this station feeling like a fool. four people already asked me where i’m from and when i told them “hawaii,” they looked at me as if i was weird. am i?

\nthen once i seen the ocean, i felt warm again. it’s amazing how the ocean can produce such a powerful vibe. i actually felt like surfing.

\n6 hours later, i finally arrive to Hakodate. it’s my first time here and after all this snow, i’m not sure if i want to come back. haha. one guy told me that the snow storm started 2 days ago. when i got out of the train station, my hotel was a 25 minute walk. i was slipping and sliding while pulling my suitcase. nobody else looked as stupid as me. but i refused to take the easy way out and ride a taxi.

\ni got my low cut $40 sketchers and it’s not doing the job at all. when the powder snow gets in the side, my feet freezes. and to make things worst, i’m slipping all over the place. it was one of the most dangerous walks of my life.
\n\"IMG_3191\"<\/a>
\ncheck out this monster crab! i almost ordered one but after they told me $300, i said no thank you.
\n\"IMG_3195\"<\/a>
\ni was walking around all day dragging my suitcase in the snow. there are absolutely no other tourists walking on the streets except me. frozen hands, feet, ears, and soul, i’m kind of enjoying this kind of travel by myself. makes me really appreciate life.
\n\"IMG_3197\"<\/a>
\ni look like a terrorist. but when it’s this cold, i don’t care what i look like. i have 3 layers of top and 2 layers of bottom and i’m still freezing cold. how do people live like this? i miss hawaii already. haha.
\nanyway, heard all the flights into sapporo airport were cancelled yesterday and today. luckily i rode the train! it was an amazing ride so far. i can’t wait to go deeper in hokkaido and deeper in snow. keep warm.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
