NEW YEAR SPIRIT 

December 27th to January 5th was holiday in Hokudai. All activities in campus change rapidly, the street that usually crowded by vehicles and pedestrian become silent at that time. 

These pictures was taken on January 3th

Almost all students in Hokudai spend years end holiday in their home town for visiting family. They also pray in 神社 (Jinja) a Shinto shrine and make a wish for the New Year. Like me a foreigner student, there was no choice beside spent years end holiday in dormitory, chit chat with Indonesian friends and sometimes walk around for sightseeing, I also went to my laboratory to do something. Now year end holiday already finished and we are ready to back to routines activities, absolutely with the new spirit.

Thank you for reading my posting C U..

Good morning every one,

     Today, I would like to say "Happy new year, wishing you good times, good health, good cheer, and a very happy". This is my first time for new-year celebration in Japan. I' m lived here for 3 months ago. Although,  I often miss my hometown, I'm still happy every days and impressive with snow season.
     I went to Goryokaku Tower on the last weekend with a my friend. The weather was very cold and windy. We got in the tower for looking the top view of the Fort Goryokaku. The height of tower is 107 meters. The everything of Hakodate city were covered many snow . I think, It was beautiful. We bought some Souvenirs such as sword-bunch, post cards and Marimo algae. I was happy and funny.

The short histrory of The Fort Goryokaku
     The Fort Goryokaku was star-shaped. The construction was began in 1857 by many professional tradesman and laborers gathered from all over Japan. After 7 years of construction, the Fort Goryokaku was essentially completed in 1864. The Fort Goryokaku is a important historical landmark because the Hakodate War happen here. wase Fort Goryokakuonal trades  Goryokaku on

Happy New Year

Posted on Jan 5, 2014 by

Hello everyone...

Happy new year for you all..
I wanted to share my experience in this First January 2014.
This month , all the people in Japan celebrate the New Year holiday, which begins on December 28, 2013 until January 5, 2014 . Maybe everyone celebrating the holiday , but I still have to study in the laboratory. I'm just off on December 31 and January 1st . This is because I have to do the experiment for completing my research projects related to the PARE program . End of February , my research project must be completed, because March 9th, I must go back to Indonesia .But I do not make it a burden . I made ​​this as a challenge and trigger the spirit for finished my research .
In addition , I passed New Year's Eve abroad for the first time . However , New Year's Eve here is very different in Indonesia . In Indonesia , New Year's Eve is celebrated with festive . All the people gathered in city centers , blew a horn , make fireworks , cooking grilled corn and a variety of other activities . However , in Sapporo, it was very quiet . I walk around to odori at 9 pm to 1 night but no party . Maybe there is a difference in traditions or celebrate any other way I know less so . But this is a very valuable experience . Thank you PARE Program.
