We're on our way to Chitose Airport (Hokkaido)! Arrived at about 1230pm... went to the JR station's office to get our Sapporo & Otaru Day pass..and train ticket from Chitose to Sapporo.. all in all.. 2540yen ($40). The passes will cover our transport for 2 days...calculated...& its worth it! 
Checked into our beautiful room at Gracery Hotel (4000yen/person/night - $62).. just right opposite the train station... it's super super convenient!! Iris boiled water...etc... unpacked a little..and with no time to waste, we were outta the hotel! Our next destination.. Chocolate Factory! woah!

It's quite cold leh!~ and Shiroi Koibito chocolate factory's about 10 - 15mins walk from the station.. we were quite lost lah.. but a lady directed us there...yippeee! and I saw Black Lollie! I missed my Lollie back in SG then.... 
okie... that's the chocolate factory in sight!
at the entrance... the wrong entrance..wahaha...
found the correct entrance..and went in..and there were many mini houses! we went into one to take photos! remind me of Alice in Wonderland..keke...
got our chocolate factory passport + free cookie, paid the entrance fee and we're going for cookie making class! yeah!
on our way for our cookie class...
Look at this.. so pretty! made of sugar icing! 
here we are...gonna make our cookies here....
presenting...Chef Michelle and Chef Iris!
after like wat seems hours (actually only an hour)......we finally finished our cookies!
we chose the cookie moulds... and we were abit kiasu lah.. kept kneading the "left-over" dough to get as many cookies as possible..wahaha.. I made the chocolate ones, Iris made the vanilla ones.. look at the bottom left corner..one big round cookie.. that's made from the left over from Iris's dough and mine! and we shared that cookie after it was baked! nice k!
while waiting for our cookies to be baked, we explored the factory abit...
there was a whole lotta collection of old toys... and some characters we knew since young...
just look at that! 
and all these! (taken by Iris!)
Juke Box! But the juke in Iris's house is nicer!

stopped by 100 yen shop on the way back to the station.. bought drinks and cup noodles!
had a bowl of ramen each... shared fried rice & gyozas........ In a very small and cozy shop in the Sapporo train station itself.. has only about 4 tables and a counter... but velly velly nice! it's either we're damn hungry, or we're damn hungry...wahaha... we're HUNGRY!!! our only meal of the day was MAC at airport...hurhur...
