Susuga (Part 2)

Day number two started off with an early morning alarm set at 7:30 am for breakfast. Breakfast was Japanese style comprised of salmon, miso soup, rice, raw egg, and natto if you were brave enough. I ate the natto as well, and I'm

sorry for anyone who smelt my breath that morning. Sorry not sorry.

Right from the get go, I decided to ride the gondola all the way up the mountain with 3 japanese students and Lucy, my friend from England and a skiier for the day. While up the mountain, we watched several lovey dovey commercials that takes place at a ski lodge. Apparently its popular every year, and each one is about the same theme: a girl and a guy who has mutual feelings for each other, flirting heavily on the mountain. Theres one scene that takes place on the lift, and one of the guys there desperately wanted to reenact it and so I succumbed to the cheesiness of it and learned the dialogue, doing the "skit" on the two seater lift. Very very embarassing. Very.

The course itself was a blast to ride through, and there werent many people up there to block your way. The powder was so soft that even if you did trip, it was like falling into pillows. We went through this course two times before heading back for lunch, where we had curry. 

They also allowed seconds or thirds!

After lunch was more boarding with a different group of people, and an hour break in between where I bought coffee and talked with one of the girls there. She's going on a dinner meeting with a producer and a famous announcer from Nihon Television! I believe its because they contacted Niji no Kai for interviews in the past with foreign exchange students and am recently pursuing another interview thats similar to it. Since shes one of the leaders, shes the one to contact to discuss further details regarding it.

After the break we headed out to the slopes again, and although I promised myself I'd practice my turns I chickened out and did my usual slide and break and slide and break until I reached the bottom.

Dinner was yumyums. 

It was some sort of chicken dish with cheese. Pigging out after an entire day out in the slopes is honestly the best reward.

I had an option to go night boarding with people as well, but looking out the window and watching the blizzard scared me out of going. Which turned out to be one of my biggest regrets as I found out the next day that night boarding is actually so much fun and definitely worth braving the cold for.

So instead I played cards with whoever was left, went into the hot bath with people (yes, buck naked), and slept until Shakira from Lucy's phone woke me up the next morning

Oh Lucy-Please let us sleep
