Pre-Exchange Trip - Hokkaido! The Land of Snow (^0^)

I've seen snow for the first time in my life! lol... till now it still seems like a dream to me. I really can't imagine myself standing in the snow, touching and feeling it. 本当に夢見たいね！It seemed so surreal to me...sometimes I really wonder whether I'm really in Japan now. The temperature range in Hokkaido wa probably about minus 3-4 to 4 degree celsius. I'm the kind of person who has to sleep without fan and air-con in Singapore thus it's kinda hard for me to imagine myself staying in Hokkaido for almost 2 weeks. The land of snow is located at the extreme north of Japan which explains its unbearably cold climate but at the same time one of the top tourist attractions in Japan. I heard from the Japanese that Hokkaido probably has the greatest influx of tourists right after Tokyo, Osaka and Kyoto. Hokkaido is famous for sapporo ramen (one of my fave Japanese dishes), sapporo beer and shiroi koibito (it means white lover in Japanese and it's a kind of cream biscuits which literally melts in your mouth... the kind that once u start popping you can't stop... it's exclusive though as it's only available in Hokkaido and no where else in Japan).If not for my 30kg luggage plus 10kg backpack, I would have bought boxes and boxes of shiroi koibito...=P).
