Day 1 - 7 April 2012
My flight was 9.40am, we have to gather at the airport at 7.10am. I arrived at Sapporo at 3.10pm (Japan time), about 4 hours+ journey. We left airport at about 4pm and arrived at the hotel at 5pm. It snowed on the way back to hotel, the first time I see snow. It snowed again at 5.30pm after we checked in. I went to take some pictures and we went out to Ramen street to eat ramen.
The ramen does not taste really nice. We finished dinner at about 6.30pm and then walked around and went to the department store next to our hotel to buy tit bits. It was snowing when we left and we took pictures before going back to hotel at 10pm.
First night's hotel is small and the bed is not very comfortable. The air cond is hot and I can't sleep the whole night. The window can't be opened.

Day 5 - 11 April 2012
Today's morning call is at 6.45am and we left hotel at 8.10am. We went to Pak Zhi Luen Yan chocolate factory and reached there at 9am. We witnessed the chocolate making process at the factory. We left at 10.30am and went to Mitsui Outlet. We reached there at 11am. The outlet is really lousy, very small. We ate at the foodcourt and left at 1.30pm to the airport. We reached airport at 2pm. There were a lot of people and the tourguide was really slow. The queue was so long, I think there's 50 group but the airline staff was very slow. Luckily I can queue at the Marco Polo counter and don't need to wait so long.
We passed the immigration at 2.50pm and managed to buy a Samantha Thavasa bag....yay....finally. I wanted to buy it 7 years ago when I went to Japan, but it was too expensive for me. Now I can afford it.
The plane is at 4.40pm and we reached Hk at 8.30pm HK time. The journey was really long and I had headache and feel like vomiting during the journey. Luckily I can lie down and felt better after that.
Conclusion
The trip was enjoyable, but too bad didn't have chance to try out nice food myself. The food is not really that nice. This trip cost HK$12,158 per person and I spent HK$6,000 for the trip.
