# A Visit to Yoichi Distillery

by Meow

As my bf Jon loves Whiskey, we visited the Yoichi Distillery during our vacation in Hokkaido.
I reserved a guided tour one month before the trip, but I think it is okay to tour by yourself.
The distillery tour is only conducted in Japanese.

# My Disappointing Bits about Hokkaido

by Meow

It seems too negative to write a post on my disappointing bits;
I really am so disappointed on these places.
Before I went to Hokkaido, I browsed a lot of blog posts from Taiwanese bloggers on what's good in Hokkaido, but ended up disagreeing with them.
They are just recommending these places blindly.
Don't think it wrong, I really do like Hokkaido, only not these places.
Here are my top 3 disappointing bits, in ascending order.

Top 3: The Snow Crystal Museum in Asahikawa

This museum has a lovely outlook.
It is a western style, church-like building for site-seeing and wedding ceremony.
However, I don't think it display enough content to claim itself as a museum.

# First Skiing Experience @Tomamu

by Meow

Skiing is always on my bucket list even though I am never good at sports.

My friends and I stayed in the Tomamu Resort for 2 days.
While trying my best to act brave, I could still relax myself after the exercise.

# My White Holiday 2018 - Biei

by Meow

I had been saving up for this winter trip for a long time as I am always longing for a white winter.
This white fluff might be annoying sometimes, but I do LOVE snow!
Biei (美瑛) is colourful small town in the summer because of its patchwork fields;
in the winter, the town is monochrome, covered in a thick layer of snow.
It still worth a visit even it has lost its colours;
especially if you like the solitude feeling of the trees standing alone in the snow.

We chose the bus tour because everything were prearranged and we did not have to worry about hiring the taxi.
We reserved two bus tour:

The Patchwork Course
The Winter Illuminating Course

Here is the information of the two courses.

The first actual stop of the bus was the Seven Star tree.
This tree was named after the cigarette brand; as the commercials put the tree on their packages.
In my opinion, this was just a normal tree 😹.
Don't get me wrong, I still like the tree; but it would better if there weren't any fences around.
