Also today, I got up early to take pictures of subway trains and trams. I walked to Chuo kuyakusho mae Station, and then walked to Nishi-11-chome Station to go to Odori Station, where I can take pictures of the subway trains on 3 lines.

There is a bus stop for passengers going to Shiseikan Elementary School. The bus is just one service per day.

After breakfast, we walked to the nearest bus stop only to find that bus service was halted, because its bus route cross over a route of Marathon route. We walked to Soen and took local train to Sapporo, and then boarded Limited Express "Lilac" to Asahikawa.

At Asahikawa station, my friends picked us up to Pijeon-Kan, which is a restaurant mainly serving jun dog. Jun Dog is a kind of hot dog that consists of deep fried chicken, beef, or shrimp rolled by rice.
We ate jun dog for lunch there.

Accidentally, brothers of one of the friends appeared in the zoo. I heard that all of them drank alcohol until 4:00am. I was surprised at how strong they are.
The family took us to Asahikawa Station.
