Took a walk around Susukino. Susukino is probably a top red-light district in Japan, heard this from Japanese men. Nevertheless Susukino is a gourmet haven with many good restaurants that opens till wee hours.


Good to be back in Sapporo missed this city a lot

Starter - fish

Sauces for shabu-shabu

Here it comes

Veges

More beef

I can't afford his hotel lah …$1k a night. I was hoping to get your rate $69 a nite, or maybe $169. Since it is Jipun, I should be willing to pay more, say $269. $1k per night, I will look for capsule hotel. Got any there or not?
