It was so delicious! I'm sure we will eat it a lot. After shopping for snow gear we found a Manga cafe to stay at for the night.
It was cheap and there was free slushies so it was good!
Early the next morning we went to Yuzawa. We left our stuff at Hotel Sporea and went to skii and snow board at Yuzawa Kogen. I had not been skiing in a couple of years so at first I wasn't sure at all what I was doing but picked it up again pretty quick! I still was not very fast but it was still lots of fun!
That night we had dinner at a yummy Japanese style dinner recommended by the Hotel staff who drove us there.
I had udon noodles which were delicious but so filling I couldn't finish them!
We were hoping to go to Swing Bar after this but they were closed. We did find a place where you get to shoot corks out of a rifle and get prizes! This was really fun especially because the owner encouraged us to shoot 'Japanese style' which is when you lean right over the counter to get close to the target. I picked up a few knick knack gifts here.
Next day we went skiing at Ishayuki (something like that) and we went SO HIGH UP. It was so cloudy, we couldn't see shit. From the summit you could go down to GALA mountains if you want. If course then you couldn't get back up though. So we started going down this mountain.
I really didn't get far before my first fall. It was way too steep. I struggled to get my ski back on but eventually wad ready to go again. Again it was way too fast. I totally lost control and couldn't slow down. I knew I was gonna fall but couldn't even control that. Ended up kind up tumbling over my wrist and it was VERY SORE. It hurt to try to do anything with it but I didn't realize it was that bad. I thought the cold was probably making it seem worse than it was, so I let my partner go ahead and arranged to meet him at a restaurant, then began walking down.
My wrist was still hurting and I was crying due to the pain, so a couple of Japanese people stopped and told me to wait while they went to get first aid.
I was taken to a doctor nearby who ended up taking 6 xrays in total, and two attempts before getting my wrist snapped back into the right place. Too bad I didn't get travel insurance! The cost was pretty good though.
So now I'll be spending a lot more time taking photos of stuff than I thought because I certainly won't be rushing everywhere! I'll just have to relax way more now. :P I am glad that it was my left wrist rather than my right, and a wrist rather than a foot :)
We did get to go to Swing Bar the next night so that was cool! I cannot drink alcohol for now but they had games available. The owner remembered us a bit from 2 years ago too!
