Sunrise and Sunset in Hokkaido~!

Here am I again~!
Hello~!!
Today's topic is about sunset and sunrise in Hokkaido, Japan...

When I first arrived in Hirafu, Hokkaido on 2nd July 2010
Everything was so wonderful
Fresh air, quite environment, greeny mountain, beautiful flower and etc...
The temperature was so prefect
Around 18 °C to 24 °C~!!!
Love it so much

The first night in Hokkaido...
To be honest...
It was horrible!!!
Why?
Because...
The freaking sunrise is at 4am!!!
Can you imagine?!
I woke up on my first night in Japan at 4.30am and was pretty shock to death...
I thought I over sleep!!!
But when I look at the time it was only 4.30am!!!
My god...

To know about my crazy July in Japan...
Waking up almost everyday around 4-5am...
You can check this website and you will know the Sunrise and Sunset time

August was pretty busy here in Hirafu.
And it was the hottest month a well
Almost everyday there's check-in and check-out
It was Obon Festival in Japan and always school holidays
I was pretty busy and did not realise the changes around...

Untill one day...
The whole Hirafu was getting quiet...
The weather slightly getting cold after 5pm...
And so I realise the sky getting dark around 6pm

It was not cool at all!!!
Because if I'm working till 6.30pm
The sky will be total dark...
Well... There's lot of pretty beautiful stars
But still the journey back to staff house is very dark
The street lights are quite limited...
There's a few parts are really dark and scary...
Around are river, forest and one or two houses...

Well...
Thinking of the bright side
The sunrise is getting late!!!
I seldom got awake because of the sun light now...
Can have peaceful sleep ne
Hahahaha...

Wake up at 4am really scary anyway
Is like having a good sleep and suddenly got frighten awake in the middle of sleep,
found out it was just 4am and try to sleep back...

So what will be tomorrow???
