In Tunisia, I had to wear lots of clothes to protect my skin from the heat. AS same as Tunisia I had to put on all of my clothes in Japan, but the difference between Tunisia and Japan is you have to wear coat in order to keep yourself warn enough. My romantic honeymoon was in Hokkaido where had snowed everywhere. Japanese turned the snow into many special festivals that gave me many pleasant memories. 

The first day, we wake up at 5 o’clock and arrived at airport at 7 o’clock. We waited over than 4 hours in airport. Why? Because we happen on heavy snow and no one know when the airplane would take off, so what should we do? Just could wait. When the airplane in the sky almost above the Japan. We heard a news, “This is captain‘s announcement, there is an airplane bumped into the snowbank in CTS International Airport. So we are the number twelve stands in a line to land. It need more than one hour but we not sure. So please remain sited and fasten your belts. Thanks for your cooperation.” Finally we landed the CTS International airport. We still waited the bus to get across the snowstorm for another hour. When we took the road, we kept to searching the road where could pass. We arrived at hotel to eat dinner at 10 o’clock in the evening. To me, the first day was gone.

During the trip, the cold weather froze the lake so that we could ride motorcycle on the ice. And the snow festival was the place we could not miss. We put everything we had and made a snow angel on the ground. There are snowman, castle, snow cave, snow horse everywhere. The beautiful statue was made from snow that put in front each store. Lately the active, we rushed out the lake to hotel because the degree was -13. We were freezing. The next day, we took ice breaking boat to saw ice on the ocean. You know what? I wear 2 scarves, 2 hates, 2 sweaters and so on and still could not against the cold. The boat was riding on the winds and breaking through the ice. We saw several seagulls flew with the boat across the sky and wide animals worked on the ice. So excited!      

In Japan, the most characteristic rice dishes are Sushi and Ochatsuke. Other than Sushi and Ochatsuke, Sashimi and Ramen are the two extremely famous dishes from Japan. In the beginning, We really wanted to looking for the delicacies cuisine like I said before. But the journey was delayed by snow. In fact, some roads were snowed after the heavy snow. We had no free time to taste real food just could imagine. But fortunately we still ate crab here. How excited, the crab leg was bigger than my face. This restaurant is all-you-can-eat until you fell enough. A member in our group ate 14 crab legs by himself. So crazy, I watched him to gulp the food. I lost my appetite.

Japan attracts people by its various springs incorporating different qualities they all can makes the skin beautiful. It’s polite to take off all your clothes to enjoy the hot spring there. At first our conservative views made us embarrassed. It's diffcult for Chinese people to expose their bodies in a public bath. But the hot spring was so wonderful that and the bathroom was too small in Japan. I told myself, “While in Rome, do as the Romans do. Since no one knew me, I obey their rules to enjoy hot spring every day. It’s made me relax and took away my pressure just like to took spa in the lotion. Smell so good.”

The temperature was minus 10 degrees every day. We faced flight delayed, heavy snow, trip delayed, traffic jam and no time to ate local food. Our trip looks like full of disaster. But actually we are the only group to complete the journey. Because the bad weather some group were force to change their route of travel and some were send back to their country. So we are really lucky to experience everything in this trip. Is Japan a good place to live in? If you want to live in Japan you have to learn how to  shovel a path through the snow or you can’t go anywhere. We come to the conclusion that you can vacation in Japan but live in Taiwan.
