Sapporo & November 1999

Me and the penguins in the aquatic museum. They had all sorts of interesting fish live octopus, electric eals...

Some of the elementary school kids did a traditional japanese dance for us.

Me Yo and Norx in Otaru by the ocean. Otaru is kindof a traditional scenic town.

Rob and Norx outside a rich persons house in Otaru.

Me by the salmon trap. Its a wheel that goes around and scoops up salmon as they come by.

Just before the Halloween Party. All the exchange students striking a pose.

Left to right. Audrina (can) Rosie (columbia) Jorgen (swed.) Brian and Casey (US) Martin (swed.) two Japanese girls that I don't know (Jap.) and ME (:>)

Playing the Koto which is kindof a traditional japanese instrument like the harp. It has a funny twangy sound that you expect from traditional oriental instruments. I even got to try it.
