SAPPORO
The Ishiya Chocolate Factory - home of Shiroi Koibito "white chocolate" eclairs is more than a factory, it was almost like a play land.
Oliver and Heidi spent most of their time outdoor, playing with these tiny houses with tiny furnitures of just the right size for them.
If only the "white chocolate" chocolate eclairs is this big...
Housed at the upper floor was this quaint looking cafe with irresitable looking cakes. We just have to stop everything which we were doing and rot right there - and doing nothing except eating cakes and sipping hot chocolate. Boon Heng and I could have stayed for hours there, if not for Oliver and Heidi running around the cafe, reminding us that they needed to be entertained by other amusement.
The cafe overlooked this tiny town which was so charming. 
After spending almost half a day at the Chocolate factory, we drove to Otaru. This is the famous canal that all visitor to Otaru must go. In the evening, the canal is dimly lit with the street lamps lined along the canal making one feel sentiment. 
This shot of Oliver holding Heidi's hand reminded me of some korean drama with story centralising childhood lovers. 
Heidi insisted on carrying the bag, and with her dressing, looked like a country girl visting the downtown city.
