We tried very hard to wake up for Nijo Market.. but we failed... well, we still have one more day in Sapporo tomorrow :)
Did you see the Steam Train behind? We were so fascinated by it! haven't really seen a "Choo-Choo" train before~
We were testing out Iris's tripod! Our first time using it today! Thanks Daniel! If not, it'll be solo shots all the way! wahhaah~ Everyone's like staring at us.. *blush*
In the train.. cam-whoring.. *tee.hee* Train ride's free... coz we bought the Otaru-Sapporo 1 day pass yesterday!
Journey from Sappro to Otaru's not very long.. about 20 mins.. Weather's very good! cold and nice~
Bought a bus ticket (210yen-$3)... and we hopped onto the city bus... on our way to the Musical Box Museum!
Otaru's famous monument.. c.l.o.c.k! which makes noise every half hourly...
outside a souvenir shop... this whole area is just so enchanting! so fairy-tale-yish...
ToToRo!
Snoopy and Woodstock finger puppets :)
It's bigger than Iris's head!
so many...too many pretty things in the shop...did not buy anything though.. but kinda regret not buying the sesame street box at the top right hand corner of the photo.. so cute....
the whole area of Otaru's like... a musical box theme... oh! and glass ware too!
it's a very melodious place.. when everyone starts winding the musical boxes..
the washroom!
the signage.. and a stained glass between the 2 toilets... pwetty! 
going upstairs....
"aow-aow" musical dog~
musical cats! haha... this picture is specially taken for Eileen! Coz... she LURVES cats... *grin*
Alrighty.. right after this photo, my poor friend has a really bad tummyache.. so I wandered around alone.. drooling at those 5-figure$$ to 6-figure$$ musical boxes.. so expensive lah!
My poor friend recovered from tummyache about 1.5 hours later.. we figured out the cause of it.. finishing a whole bottle of Vitamin C on an empty stomach! and we did not realised it was already 130pm! and we have not taken any food yet! we crawled to a nearby Ramen shop and my friend recovered instantly! wOooOooH!
We're all ready to explore again! right outside the Musical Box Museum...
PIPE ORGAN! IT'S REAL! IT'S VERY COOL! IT'S VERY BIG! never came so close with a pipe organ before..
when the music starts...the figurine will start to move the pen.. like it's writing.. then, he will doze off.. and the candlelight goes off as well.. that's not it! It'll wake up.. slowly lifting up his head!
picture's not very clear.. but it's a musical duet ... violin and piano!
trying to take a shot of our reflection in the musical...er.... cupboard! ~
antique grand piano!~
ok...we're sitted on a bench.. with the bear.. don't know why this bear's here.. but there's a sign that tells us to take a photo with this bear.. so we took! keke..
some items in the museum for sale...
musical trolley!
okay... we're on our way to make our very own musical box! This pram's for sale.. $100 over bucks.. no no, it's not a musical pram..!~
Iris thought that the motorbike is so cool!
we took about 1.5 hour just to choose the materials we wanna use for our musical box!
we simply do not know where to begin..
finally...we're gonna start working on it! oh! I printed this coupon thing from the internet in Singapore.. from Otaru's musical museum website.. which gives us a small box of chocolate when we make our own musical box!
here's our masterpiece! my duckie in a pond and iris's chickies! and the most hilarious thing is that... her chickies move bAckWARds!!! whahaha.. we did not check the direction which the musical box will turn.. but luckily my ducky swam in the right direction..whahaha..
The sky's already dark.. only 430pm.. we had ice cream while waiting for our musical box to set.. about half an hour.. so we just strolled along the streets.. and guess what.. we forgot about our musical box! we walk all the way back... and luckily the shop's still open..
it's very dark.. too dark to see the pretty canal.. such a pity.. we can't take a nice shot with Otaru's famous canal! that's why we're here for in the first place...argh... we walked all the way back to the train station.. walking slowly along the streets of Otaru...*i'm missing it while typing this*
ended our last night in Sapporo with a good meal as discussed earlier.
a very enjoyable dinner! we were there for almost 2.5 to 3 hours! we eat and chat.. and yepz... enjoying each other's company! hehe..Expenses today :
[Hotel : 6000yen ($93)"per person"] + [Transport : 210yen ($3)] + [Lunch : 800yen ($12)] + [Music Box : 2101yen ($33)] + [Ice Cream ; 300yen ($5)] + [Dinner : 2020yen ($32)]
= 11431yen ($178)
Expenses so far...
$178 (today) + $1085 (Day 0 & Day 1) = $1260
