Hokkaido More


This is Nonky Land. Nonky Land is like Disney Land, but where the rides get built one per year, but they let people in before anything is finished. It's got a hillside of purple flowers though, I'll give it that. It's hard to drive past.



Some prison we visited. They really tried hard to make it entertaining. There were mock ups with dummies, some were moving. What can I say, it's a prison and designed from the first to be boring and punishing. The only food you could buy for lunch was a prisoner's meal, soup, rice and fish.



This is an artwork and a slide. A brilliant idea, though the slide was really steep and fast. In Sapporo.



Nonky Land again. I kid you not but this was one of only two rides in the 'fun park'. You can see in the background another big draw, a penned in area with some gym balls in it.



This is a perfectly clear shot of Bek and I on a motorboat, skimming across a lake. Why is this photo, taken with one arm on a bumpy boat ride, totally unblurred?
