On November 30th, 2008, at about 8:00 p.m. (Japan time), the city of Sapporo will be 100 times sexier and will have to put their winter plans on hold because hotness is coming to town. This is the part where I’m s’pose to say: “mothers hide your daughters”, but there will be no need for that since I have bodyguards. I’ll be under the watchful eye of the GF and her lovely friend. But that doesn’t mean I can’t have fun.
Here are 5 things I’m looking forward to in Hokkaido:
1. Snow and lots of it.
Who doesn’t like snow. Tell me! Not unless of course you have to shovel them off of your driveway, everyday until the end of winter then you have a very good reason to detest it. But it’s snow, man! Don’t you ever have the urge to catch a snowflake with your tongue? It’s just like popping bubble wrap. It’s irresistable.
2. Onsens ( Hot springs)
Nothing says cultural experience than being in a hot steamy room filled with fully naked Japanese men of all ages lounging around the hot pools. I hope it’s hazy enough so I wouldn’t have to stare at the ceiling the whole time.
For the millionth time, no! I'm not gonna turn around and look!
Best in Japan? Check! Miso or Shio (Salt/Soy sauce) based broth? Check! Topped with crab and seafood? Check! Butter corn flavored? Check! Requires a visit to my cardiologist after one bowl? Check!
This sexy beast needs to visit his less sexy friends.
5. The cold weather
It gives me a very good reason to hold GF tightly especially on a romantic stroll in the frigid streets of Sapporo. Coz I’m romantic like that. I need a very good reason to hold her tight.
