Sapporo Day 2

February 7th

On the second day we went to Niseko - the main ski field in Sapporo. The snow here is meant to be some of the best in the world as it is so powdery and soft. Emily and I spent the day going down our own baby slope! I didn't fall over all day which was a first and then we went to an outdoor onsen (bath) and it was snowing! When we got back to Sapporo city we went and ate crab for dinner. It is very famous here - we got a huge course and ate crab everyway possible! Raw crab, cooked crab, crab hotpot, crab gratin, tempura crab . . . and many other delicious ways!
