Sapporo, I should explain, is the biggest city on the top island. A bit like Tokyo, a bit like Hiroshima, it's a neon-heavy city. It's also pretty cold. Probably a bit like back home is just now. It has a lot of clubs, bars and restaurants, especially in the area that we are staying, Susikino. It also has some fabulous second hand shops. I have bought a wee 60s dress, a kimono jacket, two big pieces of beautiful Japanese silk kimono bands, an unbelievable balaclava (see earlier post) and a few other items. The vintage scene is alive and well in Sapporo. We also found a lovely wee record shop. We could have spent all day in it.
Jason got a few pieces of funky clothing too. I realise the photographs make it look like the Argyll Arcade. It's the neon, what can you do?
