My initial thought of going to Japan is “Are we going to see some awesome neon city in Akihabara or are we going to some rural area with some magnificent landscape that I have seen in the magazines?”. Surprisingly my dad told me we are going to stay in Japan for a month with my grandma and grandpa in Sapporo where many fresh meat is being made locally. Day before the journey begins, I realized this will be my first time riding a plane as well. This frightened me because I am afraid of heights. I fixed this by reading a book on how to not be afraid of heights while riding the airplane (This is funny because my dad thought I was ridiculous).

The hotel was completely different to the ones from America. It was cheap, clean, and comfortable. First was the front where we take off our shoes and wear sandals. We then go to our rooms greeted by all the staffs and guide us to our vast indoor hot spring and very traditional bedroom where we will sleep.

This was also where I get to see my grandma and grandpa for the first time and went hiking together and ate barbeque with my cousin in Hamanaka on the cliff shore. Another thing that I noticed in Hokkaido was that I had seen bikes and very expensive items being left in the open areas. People who owned these stuff had no worries of crimes at all. This was when I learned that Japan has one of the lowest crime rate in the world. I couldn’t do this in America because I don’t trust the public at all. Therefore, I was very surprised by it. We stayed in Hokkaido until the month ended and headed back home with many things that I had learned over this
