I’ve been back home for about 2.5 weeks now… but I can’t stop thinking about the snow, the trees, and the comfort of powder!
My 2013 Japan trip has been a blast. Travelling around Tokyo for a week with Gandi, living it up for free in the Hyatt at Shinjuku! Ahh… reality, why have you returned?!
I suppose you know it’s bad when you living from holiday to holiday. I can’t seem to quite enjoy the life I have at home. Don’t get me wrong, J, my friends and family, I cannot be more happy about my relationships. But my work life has brought me to the lowest levels I have ever been. And I need to find a new direction for my own sanity. Easier said than done.. why? Cause I have absolutely no idea what I want to do, or what I’d like to do as a career! =P
Anyways, this attitude is a downer. So let’s talk about more happy things! The photos in the trees was taken in Hanazono. I fell over, and just sat there and was just in awe of the beauty of the scenery. This was towards the end of the trip, and your body is exhausted, but you keep pushing to get that little bit more, to keep the excitement! Mostly to just appreciate where you are, right there and then.
No matter how many times I go through the trees, it is so quiet in there, but it’s not the scary kind of quiet. You glide through on your board, and the snow is falling, the powder is all around you, and you can’t hear a thing. It’s surprisingly comforting (#^___^#) Sometimes, if I fall over, I would just sit/lie there and stare upwards at the snow covered trees, the sky, look around at the powder piles. But I can’t stay for too long, cause I’m white top up! Hahaha, when I realize where I am, I hope no one runs into me! It’s so beautiful in the backcountry. Just breath taking.
Next post, I have to talk about snowmobiling! That’s definitely a must do in Niseko too!
それいけ!
