Japan Trip 2024 - Part 5: Furano

After our extremely short stop at Otaru, we made our way to Furano next.  The journey to Furano is more difficult as on the last leg we could only ride on the local train without any reservations and only 4 trips a day.  Fortunately I decided to send 2 luggages to our last stop in Sapporo, but it didn't make our journey any simpler as on the train we bumped onto many similiar travellers like us, so the train was quite filled up with luggages.  It was just a one car train, strangely.

Dreamy December

December has been somewhat peaceful, considering I spent more than half of the month away from work.  And boy.... how I wish I could just win the lottery so that I can quit my friggin' job (I really hate my senseless workaholic team mates, shifty global service department and self serving product owner).  Travelling made me realize there are so many wonderful things out there to see and experience, instead of just being desk bound and work to fulfil someone else's agenda.  A true leader is someone who makes people working under him/her feel empowered and become prosperous, instead of just having them execute the boss' own designs.

The highlight of the month is of course, my Japan trip.  This year we started from Tokyo, then made our way through 4 cities in Hokkaido (Hakodate, Otaru, Furano & Sapporo).  I'll be writing on that trip in a separate post.
