All this happened started from last Friday. The guy told me to assemble at ikebukuro at 10:00 and in fact the bus took off around 11:20 just because I was late for playing tennis last time. What a big revenge! The nightmare lasted the whole night that I couldn't believe that many other people were able to sleep well in the bus while I couldn't get sleep at all.

After arriving the hotel at about 6 early in the morning, we picked up the wears and snowboards from the rent room and took bus to the ski resort. As in my case without any sleep over the night!! It was a big challenge for me. And even more, hsearing from other people that snowboard is much cooler than ski, as it looks like and none of us choose ski, I was forced to pick up the snowboard in the rental room although I never tried it before. It turned out I suffered injuries to arms and legs and I have to give up going to mountain to ski again the next day. But found that snowboard is not just cool but also lot of fun. Steeve gave us personal training, which mainly target for the girls though.









While the good thing was that part from the snowboarding. I got the chance to have a look around in the place Hakuba 白馬 with nick, mie and chao, who were exhausted same as me. The place was amazing beautiful after the snow on the second day. And we can not help ourselves to play snowball. There are a few of nice cafes and restaurants in the small village. We picked up this Italian restaurant and had a really nice lunch especially in this snow world. Would be really romantic if you take your girl there I could image.

Overall, it was really good trip except the night bus. I would definitely go there again by Shinkansen.
