Okay, I hope this comes out looking how it’s supposed to, since this is a JIS keyboard and all…\u00c2\u00a0 Anyway, I just got back into Sapporo after travelling around the Shiretoko-hantou, Abashiri, and Asahikawa for the past few days.\u00c2\u00a0 Since this has been life out of a minimal kit, this has probably been the dirtiest I’ve felt in Japan ever.\u00c2\u00a0 I was only able to pack a pair of shorts and some DPM trousers and 2 T-shirts other than the one I was wearing on Wednesday night.\u00c2\u00a0 It was fairly hot every day, probably around 25C and sunny, so with all the hiking about, in one day a shirt was ruined with funk.<\/p>\n
I visited 2 nice onsen towns, went to an open-air onsen waterfall, and saw numerous wild deer at under pistol range (probably more like hammer range).\u00c2\u00a0 It was salmon spawning season, so every river was choked with salmon swimming upstream (which are difficult to photograph without a polarizing filter), and every river mouth was choked with oyaji fishermen.\u00c2\u00a0 Oddly,\u00c2\u00a0 I didn’t see any bears, but maybe that was a good thing, considering I\u00c2\u00a0watched salmon swim upstream\u00c2\u00a0while eating a salmon onigiri, then saw deer then\u00c2\u00a0got deer on the menu later that day on two occaisions.<\/p>\n
Someone mentioned getting all hot and sweaty just from eating, and I definitely experienced that here (was that Ckucke?).\u00c2\u00a0 That’s a sure sign of oyaji-dom.\u00c2\u00a0 I don’t recall a single meal on this trip that wasn’t accompanied by sweating…<\/p>\n
Anyway, I’m going to take a shower, eat my peach, and drink my Suntory Malts Premium and hit the futon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
