Salmon Ikura Don
Our last lunch in Hokkaido before flying back to Tokyo : salmon-ikura-don. Not too bad for airport food. Come to think of it, you can often get excellent food at the airport in Japan !

Skiing Naoko
Naoko enjoying her second year in beautiful Niseko. They broadcast some music on the ski tracks, so that’s why she also dances :D

Skiing in Hokkaido
As promised, some photos of one downhill run with my 5D in hand. Niseko really is an excellent place for skiing. In Annupuri, the tracks are wide, the snow is good and it’s a lot less crowded than on the other side of the mountain (Hirafu).

Flying over Tokyo with a Smile
Take off from Haneda, bound for Sapporo in Hokkaido… Flying over Tokyo now means noticing one more thing in addition to the Mt. Fuji in the background : Tokyo Skytree ! Inside the cabin, there’s also another thing to notice : the smile of the Air Hostesses :-)

Boarding for Hokkaido
First step of our winter holiday : take a flight for Hokkaido in Haneda. Well-groomed, friendly, polite and efficient staff makes flying definitely less painful !

Back in Tokyo
Back in Tokyo after 4 wonderful days of skiing and snowboarding in Hokkaido. Probably going to take us a week to recover from awfully aching muscles ! So in the coming week, stay tuned for more pictures of Niseko and apologies in advance if you don’t like snow, food and skiing… :D

Spooky Temple in Saigon
The Jade Emperor Pagoda in Saigon is dark, smoky, dusty and frankly a bit spooky !

Cho Ben Thanh Market
The 50mm/f1.2L in action in the Cho Ben Thanh Market (follow the link for a complete gallery). I hesitated a lot before leaving for Vietnam : should I bring the 24-105mm only or 16-35mm + 50mm ? Well, I opted for the later and when looking at the photos, I think it was a good ...

Vietnamese Dong
Hard to keep track of how much you’re actually spending with so many digits ! Hopefully, that’s not where the Euro is heading…
