Nov.26: The arrival. Our trip was kind'a tiring. Via Cathay Pacific, we flew from Singapore to Hong Kong and waited for about 4 hours (ooopss! please add 3 more hours because our flight was delayed at Hongkong International Airport due to technical problem with the plane going to Sapporo). So, the flight was re-scheduled from 09:15am  to 12:30pm going to Sapporo. It was not a big deal with us since our safety was their top priority. Thanks God we landed at Shin Chitose Airport  at around 6:00pm safe and sound. 

Our hotel in Sapporo was Hotel Kaiko Sapporo Nakajima Koen for 31,000 Japanese Yen(6 days). It was near the Nakajima Koen Station (Exit 3). We booked this hotel through Booking.com. We got lost in finding this hotel since the map says we have to Exit 1, but there are two very nice Japanese who drove us to  the hotel. 

Since it was dinner time, we just let our bags at the hotel and walk towards Susukino District and we found a small Ramen restaurant, Yamaokaya Restaurant. For me and hubby, it was the best (so far!) Ramen we ever tasted in our trip to Sapporo, and take note, it was not as expensive as you think.

Travel Insurance

When travelling on a foreign country especially if you have a very adventurous itinerary, a travel insurance is A MUST. In just a few weeks, I will be travelling to Hokkaido for a 9-day trip. Though, I am not an adventurous person, but since I am in a foreign country, a travel insurance is one way to feel secure for yourself and your safety. 

I paid S$57.40 for a Premium Plan of DBS Bank that will also cover if I had an accident due to skiing and stuffs, delay of flights/ baggage and many other emergency expenses. 

I just received my policy and as promised, we received an Adidas waist bag worth S$49 as stated in their brochure.

  

Flower Dome at Gardens of the Bay

Went here at the Gardens by the Bay in the midst of SG50 celebration. The crowd is so huge maybe because it is holiday here in Singapore. Aside from that, entrance fees are discount because of the celebration.
