Otaru 2D1N Trip Part 2 Coming to the end~

Finally this is the final post of my Otaru trip! Spent so much time to choose picture, arrange them in orders and upload one by one. Kinda crazy. Will post Snow Festival Pictures before I leave staff house for my incoming trip.

Cant believe it! I am here in Niseko for 4 months! Outside is still snowing though is already spring~ But I am so lazy to snowboard or skiing nowadays because no more local free shuttle bus to go to the lift.

Ok back to my post entry! I really ate too much for just lunch and snack from the previous snack. The best way to digest all of them is to continue my journey and keep WALKING! Otaru is like Toulouse or Melaka town, you can walking back and forth in the same street or area...

Along the Otaru canal, spotted artists painting the scenery. How I wish I could draw as good as them. Hmmm... think again, is been awhile that I draw.

Painting on the glass is interesting. But to buy the painting in Msia is very expensive for just one colour =( Does anyone knows where can I get cheaper painting material?

You may find many restaurant just located right across the Otaru canal s. But... Awww... is all closed during the day =(

Camwhoring is anytime!

Then, I found this gigantic Takoyaki! Amazing. Japan Boleh juga!

Born as an Asian, think like an asian, act like asian and travel like an asian... so I opt to do something related to Otaru. I am buying an experience and souvenir home for myself! XD So I decided to do something with glass since Otaru is famous for it~ There are many other course you could try in the glass retail shop such as making accessories, lamp, candle holder, vase, etc. All sort of ideas! Triggering your creativity!

So I chose..........

the 'ingredient'

the 'chef'

Ready to 'cook'

Meals are ready to serve! Guess which is mine? ;)

the sample of candle holder

All we need to do is stick the colour glass onto the candle holder. Then need to wait the glue to dry in about 3 hours? So while waiting for it to dry... we planned to discover other places.

I saw this glass making shop recommended by the travel guide I had. It looks fun but will take up lotsa time too.

It was still quiet hard to walk with normal sports shoe. Almost fall down all the time.

the Venice gallery - everything is so expensive!



Hey is kitty snowman!

Fresh corn

Fresh seafood! smell so good! passer also cant resist!

We came into another glass gallery and there is a restaurant. Look at that! Awesome right? picture look nice and romantic but when we were in there, it was so dark and kinda turn off. I meant in my opinion~


See another LeTao shop

found another kitty - this is for my nana

Then I passed by this teddy bear shop! look at the display. so many Teddy!!!!! Very excited and SS at the same time - I know! Then when I went in....

There are so many of them!

jungle theme

Can I put all these in my room?

and the PIG - if you treat me bad, I will kill you just like this! =p

I will behave myself the next time...hehe. But you cant blame me cause I am still a girl k? acting so crazy for these.

Any where you go, you will just find cake,coffee,desert shop

Joanne went into to a shop then only I realized is what my Japanese supervisor recommended - Rokkatei! Another famous brand in Hokkaido besides Shiroi Koibito. Bought some souvenirs from my family. Hope my bro didnt finish my chocolate!


You know what this means? Is tea time! ;)

Yum yum! the ice cream is so smooth!

one ice cream + one bread + 1 free coffee or tea

my custard filling bread!

Ok...we better get ready to back to reality! Walked back to the shop to collect our glass then walk to the hotel and grab our luggage.

And finally we able to catch th express train!

to Kutchan...18:32

Otaru station

see how much I bought from Rokkatei!

Celine and Joanne was here!

My first time and last time visiting Otaru!

I slept all the way from Otaru to Kutchan in the train. Took us about 2 hours to get home. After that, got onto the Kutchan Free Night Go bus - just in time! And finally got home!

Dango! Dango! for staff house
