Snow and Chocolate




Today, I woke up with snow covered Tokyo. It is cold and white and busy and beautiful. Today, the best contrast with snow is chocolate.
This winter I have been to Sapporo city, the biggest city of the north island of Japan, Hokkaido. And, I used New Chitose Airport.  Until now, this is an intro but it seems just suited to write about on a snowy day Tokyo.
As many airports, there are shops, restaurants, entertainments and so on…
There is also a chocolate factory with a small chocolate museum and dreamy chocolate shops.





Cheers, chocolate,
Ece

Happy New Year!!


Happy New Year!
I made new year resolutions, one of which is about my blog. :)

In Japan, people celebrate New Year's Eve in temples or have a custom to visit temples on first day January.

I ran into this temple when I was going somewhere else, but it made me happy to notice the smell of the incenses burn for good fortune and other 2016 wishes.
 One sign that I have for 2016, is that the whether on 1st of January which was realy nice, sunny and warm-ish winter, with beautiful views. 


Cheers,2016,
