OHHHHHHH who lives in a pinneaple under the sea?? THE. SYKES. FAM. LY! No not really, don't be scared! No one is in a pinneaple or under the sea! We're safe and everything. Ah but there was a time. A dark time in a land called 'Nozawaonsen' where we were in the snow! YES it was the snow! We stayed at a wonderful hotel but there were no shoes or feet allowed. So we had to walk in slippers EVERYWHERE.
So we were in this town that had 13 different onsens. What the heck is an onsen you say? It's like a hot tub but you have to go in naked. Yes naked, yes yes like a baby peach. All stripped down. A la nude. But don't worry, it was seperate with the women and men. They aren't monsters! So I mean my dad went, what a shocker. And my mom went. And Owen and I were like "Um...NO WAY! YOU CRAZY?!" So I read, Owen played video games. I had a drink, Owen had a snack. I read, Owen played video games. We stayed in an old style hotel. So the way it works is that your room is on a tatami mat, I can't explan it you gotta look it up. And you have this really low table with low seats and cushions...basically everything is really low. And they bring you this lovely tea. It's great! And during the night they put away the table and bring out futons to sleep on. They were surprisingly comfy. So in the morning we went for breakfast and you walk into this magical place. No seriously they greet you and then lead you to an old style, low to the ground, japanese room to eat your food. It's seriously cool. And the first day we were there they gave us a western style breakfast. It was okay and all but I mean I wanted a japanes style breakfast! After breakfast, my dad, my brother and I headed to the ski hill to catch some slopes! Or hit some slopes...ride the slopes? We went to the slopes okay! And wow that was high! They had gondolas and a billion chairlifts, and we had so much fun. We even got some green tea ice cream. ICE CREAM IS BETTER WHEN IT'S COLD OUTSIDE. I've said it before and I stand by that statement. So later that evening, we had a japanese style dinner. And we had a vegetable ball, some salmon and an orange geltinous ball. The ball was orange. It was round. And it was a jigggly jelly structure. I don't know what it was, but it was cool and different and WOWOWOW. And so my mom and I went outside to the foot onsen. It was like the normal onsen but just for your feet. And we relaxed and soaked our feet and it was nice! The next morning we wake up to some serious rain. And I mean RAIN. It was coming down bro! And we woke up, had some japanese style breakfast this morning and we headed off to get some more food. Now they had this special apple bun and MAN WAS THAT DELICIOUS. It was like a lil' apple pie. And we got these banana buns THAT WERE CRAZY GOOD. I mean it was all good. We got these red bean buns too. MMMMMM! I don't know why but everything tasted amazing. So as we left we decided to go see the snow monkeys. They are monkeys who live in the snow close to the hot springs. So we walked miles through the forest to see them and there were dozens of them! I mean there were some I thought were rocks that were actually monkeys.
