It was
held in the school gymnasium and there was also a food area with the senior
class selling Thai curry and Indian curry meals for 400 yen. Both had meat so I passed them up, but Ted
enjoyed the Thai curry. Proceeds from
the curry sales were for the benefit of an orphanage in Thailand.
Ted
found quite a few fleas – some books, a Japanese print, a hammock, some brass
bell things, a tool set, and maybe some other things. I bought a mola for 500 yen, two beautiful
saris for 500 yen for both, and some Japanese looking cotton print fabric –
three for 300 yen. We were both happy
with our purchases.
Then we
went back to Odori Park to see flowers – the snow is gone in Sapporo.
Our
next destination was Hokusei Girls’ High School to see the play, Snow White in
English! I have attended Tea Ceremony and Kanji workshops at this school in the
past. Some of the tea ceremony girls recognized me and waved from across the auditorium.
It was
fantastic! The girls were adorable and their English excellent. They sang and
danced – it was amazing! The costumes were perfect. I thought there would be many English speaking
foreigners in the audience, but I was wrong. The audience was mostly other students
in their sailor uniforms.
Before
leaving Sapporo, we had dinner at a soba restaurant.
Walking home from the bus stop, we saw this life size Marilyn on someone's porch. It must be spring.

What a great international day! I am sure Ted does not want to miss next year's flea market.
