Merry Christmas! Don’t be shy to get fat tonight.

The Sunkus convenient store in Japan reminds me of One Punch Man, so I decided to change it to him. 

I'll leave this as done so I can move on. Learning new skills that I'm not supposed to. Inspired by a panel from Batman: Cataclysm. I think I like the greeny monochrome.

Afternoon coffee in Barista Cafe Jlöcklich, Cologne, Germany.

More photos from Hokkaido trip

- Ishiya Shiroi Koibito factory

Some of the photos I liked from our Hokkaido trip. Gotta get back there again. Perfect weather except for the rain.

Photos of Mt. Yotei while on our way to Lake Toya. Other photos were taken en route. Ahhh I still remember that refreshing cold air.

A private, solitary escape to Lake Toya. The hotel was excellent considering the view and food against the price. 1 night’s more or less enough (was that redundant..?) The room had a glass overlooking Mt. Yotei and the lake. But the must-try is the rotenburo (outdoor bath) and I would suggest to go at the wee hours of morning or sunset (the latter, I didn’t try) for a great experience. I tried going on the night, then on the next morning to find out which felt better since this is probably a rare opportunity. Highly recommendable and I wish I could go back.

If you’re into alcoholic drinks, they have a beer-teria (a la cafeteria..) where they sell shots of their own brewed beer. 

At one end of the road is the Music Box Museum that's populated with thousands of music boxes. It was more of a gift shop than a museum per se.

Fresh seafood in Otaru! I don't know if you can wrong with the seafood places here. We ate in a seemingly ordinary one, but, even though I’m not an uni (sea urchin) fan, that was darn good. Excellent seafood here.

The little quiet town of Sounkyo is surrounded by high forested cliffs and has a river gorge passing through the town. It’s most popular for its onsen and I’d recommend the rotenburo (outdoor bath); you wrapped in breezy cold air and hot water. We did a bit of a jog at night and ended up buying ice bars in the convenient store. Oh well.

We got to Bucas Grande via boat ride from Siargao that took around 3 hours.
