Date: 10th December 2007AD
Time: n/a
Location: OMF Guest House, Sapporo
Current Mood: Absolutely exhausted
What happened:
Had a bit of a sleep in this morning before heading out again to OMF HQ. We were already feeling tired, not good.
Met Alex at HQ then took a train into the city. From there we walked to Hokudai University for our first lunch meeting with some students at the International Student Lounge. 
Got to chatting to two guys – Tatsuya and Leonas. Leonas seemed into photography but left half way through. Tatsuya is an interesting character also, studying law and a bit of an artist in his spare time.
After lunch we headed into Sapporo train station to do some shopping around. I was totally exhausted at this point and didn’t really enjoy the walking around. Eventually we ended up again with Alex and had dinner at a local restaurant. My beef curry was fairly average, containing hardly any meat.
To overcome my exhaustion I grabbed a coffee from Starbucks before we headed back to Hokudai University for an English Lesson with some students. It was great meeting the students
and going through some of the lessons with them, but I was fading towards the end and we still had to get home some how.
Alex introduced us to the ‘green’ train line which apparently stopped closer to the guest home. We made our way to the station easily enough and the train ride was shorter into the city – but the walk back home felt much longer. And we got lost.
I feel totally spent.
Looking forward to:
Getting some good rest tomorrow.
Interesting thing I noticed today:
- Sapporo Station's adjoining shopping malls have hardly any stores for Men’s clothing
- Icy streets are incredibly hard to walk quickly on, I don’t know how the Japanese do it
Nothing of note. I finally had a ‘Pocari Sweat’ drink which tasted like a lime Gatorade.
