Welcome Party at ICC
Tonight S-Air and the ICC organised a welcome party for us. A good chance to try Sapporo beer which tastes quite light, most comparable maybe to Kronenbourg- Great taste. I also tried the Hokkaido red wine. The taste of the grapes here doesn’t resemble anything I tried in Europe, in fact, if I would taste them without seeing I would think it is an entirely different fruit. The wine tastes amazing, sweet and round, not like headache and chemicals. I met Nina and Maroan, an artist couple from Berlin working in photography and film and teaching Media Art at the Sapporo City University and Masayoshi Masago with his partner Aya Miura, a video artist and a design writer. Have a look at their websites, the work is amazing!
