Sapporo-Hokkaido

Our trip to Japan in January is slowly taking shape.  We've encountered several hurdles, but we are slowly getting there.  I was so excited last night that I decided to read up on the place.

Here's my Must-Sees.
1) The Moiwa Ropeway, a cable car service that provides great views of the city



2) The Clock Tower
3) Susukino
4) The Odori Park for the ice sculptures during the Snow Festival



Maybe, if we have time, we can squeeze in a visit to Rera Factory Outlets



and the beautiful port city of Otaru.



Sapporo is the the birth place of Royce Chocolates.  It also has beer museums and chocolate factories.  In fact, they have a special edition beer that combines these two famous products.  I can't wait to try this out!



Most importantly, I look forward to this

Luxury Bags in Japan

Since almost everyone I know visited Japan this summer, I would like re-live my visit this year through this post.  This time, I will focus on luxury bags. We've heard about the usual reseller shops that house these luxury brands.  The one I can remember now is Daikokuya. I must've visited almost all reseller shops I've seen on the road.  I've noticed that these shops carry the top 3 popular ones:  Hermes, Chanel and Louis Vuitton.  There still are several pieces of Balenciaga, Valentino, Tory Burch, Celine, Gucci and Michael Kors but not as abundant as the top 3.  I guess what carries the most value are the three popular ones. If you are looking for cheap designer bags, I suggest checking out Don Quixote.  You will usually find on the topmost floors on Donki.  I think this is the one in Shinjuku. I am not so sure. You find them arranged like this or inside locked glass cabinets.  I'm sure the artisans who made these bags will tu...
