Cafe Celebrities: Coffee Cory

Image
Once again, I reward you with a cutie break. Today's spycam cutie is a contribution from my darling KH. An excellent poly boy specimen with strong-looking legs. If you ever order Coffee Cory from the counter at Jewel Cafe , definitely go for the fresh cream ( and fresh meat ).

Slow Life Hokkaido III: Misplaced on the Mountain

Image
In a major change of direction, our third day was spent in the mountains. Drove about an hour up to the Daisetsuzan Asahidake Ropeway station. Mist covered most of road up the mountain as we had started our journey pretty early. The ride up to the Sugatami Station only took a short ten minutes, but the view was breathtaking. As beautiful as I remember it. The Sugatami Station is 1,600 metres above sea level, and is the starting point for hiking to the summit. For the less adventurous, there's a short circuit around Sugatami Pond that only requires a pair of gum boots. Now they charge JPY300 for boot rental, but they provide insoles as a value-add. During my last trip, the rangers didn't mark the trail, so KH and I didn't complete the circuit. The wind chill prompted me to wear another layer of clothes, and the glare made me put on my sunnies, which was a mistake! I took off my glasses and put it my jacket's inner pocket, which wasn't a pocket at all. So whe

MRT Celebrities: Sporty Sean

Seeing that my NHK style travel documentary posts had put my readers into a coma, it's time for a breather. Today's MRT Celebrity, Sporty Sean was brought to you by the one and only KH. KH spotted this bicep-y beauty during one of his business trips in Singapore. Looks like some post-work physical activity judging from the work bag between his legs. Perhaps he also had something else between his legs. Haha. Anyway, my only wish would be for his shorts to be shorter! Enjoy.

Slow Life Hokkaido II: Bring On Biei

Image
Breakfast in Biei was a simple affair at home. Mum boiled eggs and blanched some asparagus that she had bought from Furano Marche, while sticks of coffee premix was provided by the host. The second day of our trip turned wet with constant drizzle.We didn't have far to go, as all of the planned sights were within Biei city limits. Hokusei Hill Observatory wasn't very impressive. Once again, its because we came in the wrong season. Took leisurely walk around it and ascended the unique Observatory that looks like a pyramid squatting an a grassy hill. At the top is a great vantage point of the surrounding landscape. Next came the tree-hunting. Doesn't sound exciting, but the drive around the rolling farmlands of the Patchwork Road is really beautiful. One of the famous trees in the area is the Ken and Mary Tree , a talllllll poplar that was made famous in a 1977 commercial. Another tree was the Seven Star Tree . Due to age, it doesn't look as lush anymore, b

Slow Life Hokkaido I: First Stop Furano

Image
Similar to my last trip to Hokkaido, the adventure began in Furano, a two-hour drive away from Chitose. Amazingly we made no highway oasis stops. Got into town just in time for lunch. Parked at Furano Marche and went looking for food. Mostly just snacks there, so we walked across the road to Furano Marche II and found a black curry omu rice restaurant that looked really good. The black curry was delicious, and omelette was so light and fluffy. Interestingly, that dish is paired with a bottle of  local milk. Bro ordered the hamburg, and that came with an interesting sauce that's bursting with the flavour of cooking wine. Farm Tomita was the first POI on my list. A few years back, I had visited this flower farm with KH. This time round, the tulips had wilted, but they had planted a field with several types of poppies, and carpet bugle. School kids were also all over the place, and the boys were so playful with each other that I started getting yaoi fantasies in my head
