a bit of English

Ok, I know its been a while I've updated this page in English, but I didnt have much time in the past 6 weeks or so. I went home for a wedding, came back to Japan to work 2 weeks and had many farewell parties since! So, I'm in "vacation" since July 27th and I stayed around Aomori for a week after that, with my friend Eri from Osaka who came to visit. On the 3rd of August, I took the ferry from Aomori to Hokkaido )Murora) to start my bicycle trip. It rained my first night, and then, it was clear most of the time. I cycled from Muroran to Sapporo, met some friends there, trained to Asahikawa and then biked all the way up to Shiretoko hanto, meeting tons of people on the way, seeing 4 festivals, hiking 3 mountains and climbing 4 passes on my bike, with the most difficult one being Shiretoko pass, going from sea level to 760 meters in a small 13kms, with no breaks on the way! Let me tell you I had a blast going down the 15kms on the other side of the mountain!!!

I came back to Aomori on the 16th of August and now I'm back in good old Shichinohe. I'm playing in the Aomori prefecture soccer tournament this weekend and I'm leaving Aomori Monday morning for Tokyo where I'll meet some friends, before saying goodbye to Japan next Tuesday... samishii!!!

I had a great two years here in Japan and I'm planning a good year ahead as well. I will keep this blog online for at least another year, but with updates once in a while!!! It'll be hard for me to post pictures, but if I can, I'll do my best to send you some photos!

Thanks to everyone who made my stay in Japan awesome!! 39!

De retour d'Hokkaido


Eh bien, quelques milles kilometres de velo plus loin, je suis de retour d'hokkaido ou jai eu un super 2 semaines! je suis parti de Muroran et je suis remonte sur Sapporo ( ou jai bu de la bonne biere) avant de continuer vers Asahikawa. je nai malheureusement pas pu monter Asahi-dake car le jour ou jai fait de la randonnee, il ne faisait pas beau et je me suis contenter de Kuro-dake! Ensuite, jai rouler vers Kusharo-ko et la peninsule de Shiretoko, ou jai fait quelques randonnees. Dans les parc national de Shiretoko, il y a un endroit unique... les chutes de Kamuiwakka. Ce sont des cascades ... d'eau chaude, eau provenant directement de la terre.. .bref, un onsen en forme de chute.. ce fut le meilleur de ma vie, avec le soleil qui baissait a l'horizon!!!

Donc en 2 semaines de velo, jai vu 4 festivals, jai grimpe a velo 4 cols, dont un de 1050 metres, et un autre tres difficile de 760 metres sur 13 km, jai grimpe 3 montagnes a pied et rouler 1000 km.... le tout sans aucun pepin mecanique, ou presque, et sans aucune crevaison!!!

LA, il me reste une semaine au Japon avant mon depart prochain du Japon, mardi le 23!!!
