First encounter with the huskies, my first thought was "are they fierce and will they bite?" But to my surprise, they are so friendly and actually let me touch and play with them!!! Oh!!! I love them so much!!! They are so happy with their surroundings and longed to run freely in the snow!!! This is totally different from the husky we see back home, nicely groomed yet look so tired. These huskies look so alive and excited!!! I almost wanted to go on the dog sledge just because of them, but will they be able to take my weight? :P I think I better not, and it's so expensive, just 1 round cost about SGD50 bucks!!! Better just take some photos with them and just tell everyone we've been on it!!! Hehehehee.... Hope no one will find out!!! Hahahaaa...

Anyway, we have a lot of our "first time" here at the ski resort; - our first snow-tubing, our first encounter with the "original" huskies, our first snow-rafting (couldn't have any photos on that, you know why? so sad that on the second day, my stupid camera charger was gone!!! Just couldn't charge my camera anymore!!! Of all time, to spoil on a trip!!! Hate it so much!!! But thanks to technology, our handphone are equipped with cameras and therefore still not so bad!!! Heheheee... some of the photos we took are actually using the phone cameras, can you tell? :P Anyway, we have 2 batteries for our camera so really have to save the batt for the total trip of 11 days!!! And guess what, 1 of the batteries actually did last until after the trip!!! hahahaaaa... all thanks to our saving of batteries!!!), our first encounter with the pros of skiers and snowboarders (they are so cool!!! I couldn't take a picture of how steep is the hill because it is really damn steep and we were forbidden to walk to the edge!!! It's almost like 90º degrees!!! But the best part was we saw a kid about the age of 8 who actually went down the hill!!! OMG!!! So pro!!! My hubby and I actually tell ourselves that by the next time we come back, we want to be able to do that, too!!! Hehehee... hope that dream will come true!!!), and the most important of all, our first encounter with the high-tech toilet bowl!!!

HEheheeee... As you can see, their toilet bowl is equipped with so many gadgets at the side, and man! are they are really very useful!!! First, as it is winter time, so the toilet bowl is automatically heated up with a heated toilet seat so your buttocks will not catch a cold regardless whether is it a big or a small business you are doing. Second, it's equipped with music or natural sound, in case your "poo poo" or "she she" is too loud or you don't want people to hear whether you are doing big or small, the music will also automatic come out, either with water flowing sound or bird singing. Thirdly, if you run out of papers, no worries... just press a button and your bottom will be cleaned so thorough that you don't even need to wipe it anymore (I've tried that and it's so good!!! ^_^) Hahahaaa... if only we have this toilet bowls, and boy, do the Japanese know how to pamper themselves...
