• You want snow, I got snow!

    29.–30. dec. 2024, Japan ⋅ ❄️ -1 °C

    We left Kyoto today- I really liked Kyoto especially the cute animal cafes! We had to have a big travel day to get to Nagano which is quite a long way from Kyoto. The bullet train was heaps of fun- so fast! I reckon it went 300km an hour!
    It was dark when we got to Nagano but not dark enough to stop us from seeing some snow flakes drop from the sky! Snow is so cool! Imagine if it snowed in Darwin- no one would have the right clothes! At the moment I am thinking 13 degrees is warm! I will melt when I get home. We watched a man making some soba noodles which i really enjoyed. Lots of rolling, lots of chopping. I love to eat them so I wanted to watch how they are made too.
    The next day we left Nagano, didn't really do much there but we will be going back soon. We had to get a bus to Hakuba for some serious snow time.
    When we arrived I could not believe my eyes! I nearly started to cry I was so excited- but my tears might freeze and turn into ice its so cold! There was SO MUCH SNOW! It was literally metres high everywhere. Frog and I just wanted to run and jump in it! There are heaps of kids staying at our hotel which is great and they speak English. We went outside all together and just played and played and played! It was dark but we still had a snowball fight!
    I can't wait to snowboard tomorrow. I think it might be a bit like surfing, but who knows! I am not a big fan of having to wear all of these clothes though- about 45 layers each day it feels like.
    I am ready for some ski fun tomorrow! I will probably be pretty good I reckon.
