Japan 2011: Sapporo, the cold and it charms

Everytime I think about Sapporo, I remember how cold it was. I went to Sapporo early May 2011 it was supposed to be Spring, but for me , who was born and raised in tropical country, Indonesia which is only have dry season or rainy season. I remembered I brought big luggage, big black bag and female bag, since we only stayed 3 days and 2 nights, me and my friend decided to store our luggage in locker at Haneda Airport. The night before we flew, I felt drowning in despair (read: Galau) either I should bring downjacket or just jacket, when I decided to bring down the downjacket, my friend said to that it was to much, but still I brought the white  downjacket.

We flew Skymark airlines from Haneda Airport to New Chitose Airpot, the flight took around 2 hours from Tokyo. We arrived around 09:55 AM. To reach Sapporo Station we took train (dont ask what kind of train because I forgot) after we arrived in Sapporo, we checked-in at the hotel, rest little while before we started to explore Sapporo.

Remember I told you, I decided to bring my white downjacket, it was the right chose, though it was early May and it was Spring, it was cold and wind breeze was cold, thanks God I brought my white jacket.

Sapporo and it charm, I like Tokyo but There is something special about Sapporo. It has tall building like Tokyo but the pace and ambiance totally different.
