A night out in Sapporo

Sapporo might not be the most thrilling city on earth to have a night out, but you can see quite a lot of the average Japanese way of being by just strolling around…

Very bright and shiny advertisments – unfortunately mostly young girls are advertised and we didn’t venture to explore to which extent the service would go

Hmmm – not sure what to chose? Or just waiting for the food?

Horoscopes are being produced…

Small squid balls. Honestly they have not too much taste of their own, but the squid and spices make the difference.

The typical Thursday / Friday / Saturday night crowd of businessmen and scavengers hanging out…

Filled dumplins

served hot on the go

A „Girl’s bar“ – well, I assume the genitive for posession is not justified – more a bar where girls (no apostrophe) are present. As before we never ventured to explore the extent of services offered (rendered seems crude) and charged…
