Syonara Sapporo

We finally headed out from Sapporo on Wednesday at noon with Takano.  Takano is just a very noisy man, but it is more endearing than anything. He is always humming little tunes to himself, or talking to himself, or chewing gum, or snorting.  When we left Sapporo and headed out on our 5 hour journey he spent the first half an hour singing "I will fallow you," and hitting his head in various places as if he were shaping a loaf of bread. A little while after he explained he was quite tired, which explained the head slapping. A little nervous about my drowsy driver, I suggested that we stop for coffee and stretch our legs. The rest of the trip involved more japanese american pop fusion humming, but luckily the head slapping ceased.
