Hokkaido Day 2

My father and I flied to Chitose Airport and met up with my brother in Sapporo yesterday. After having lunch together, we took a train to go to Ebetsu, a small city next to Sapporo where my brother is working.

Today we went to see a few sites in Sapporo. One of them is a museum of the history of Hokkaido--the so-called "red-brick" building that used to be a prefectural office. Since this is an official (that is, governmental) history museum, there is little reference to the Ainu people. But tomorrow we will visit the Ainu museum in Shiraoi before going on to a hot spring in Noboribetsu!
