On Friday we went skiing at Bankei, about a half hour outside Sapporo. That night we went to Odori Park to see the ice sculptures, and caught this stage show. It's freezing and the keyboard player (far right) isn't wearing any pants! (Click on the image to make it bigger and you'll see what I'm talking about)
Not all the sculptures were perfectly carved.I sorta liked the lumpy ones.
Yakitori! yum, yum
the snow was perfect for packing snowballs

Then on Sunday we went to the Tsudome site, where there were ice slides and mini-golf-on-ice and more sculptures. It was snowing hard that afternoon, but before we left town we had to make one last trip to the park to see the sculptures we missed the first time around.

We saw a park official sweep snow off the Doraemon sculpture. Did he forget about Totoro?
