Hokkaido, Japan Trip 6.0

Hi everyone! Time has comes to the last month of the year. December will always be my favourite month because Christmas is just around the corner and I’m already feeling so excited to the coming parties! Well, this is the first time I’ll celebrate Christmas with my university friends and we plan to exchange gifts with the theme secret santa. Feeling so curious who is my guardian angel, please treat me well yea ^^ Anyway, finally we had done with 3 tests, 1 practical exam and silent drama two weeks ago. I still survive !!! Kinda be relax a little and enjoy my uni life, my schedule was full of activities after the exams (few more blog posts to due). We WORK HARD but PLAY even HARDER! But wait, another hectic timetable is coming. 1 group assignment, 1 individual assignment, 1 report, 1 test and 2 presentations are due for me currently. I’m so stressful now and have no idea how to deal with them. Sometimes, I wish I could just let go of everything, blank all my minds and have a good rest, but I can’t. That’s why I relax myself for a while today to write this blog post, throwback myself to the wonderful moment when I was in Japan.

A little good things for you readers is that there’ll be less photos in this post as I know some of you might feeling annoying to scroll my super long blog posts with overload of pictures. Sorry for that but I just want to share all my beautiful memories with you guys here. Coming to Day 6 of the trip and this will be out last day spend in Sapporo city before moving on to the next journey. Today’s highlight is definitely for shop lover like me before leaving this beautiful place !
