After having survived the snow storm yesterday,it is good to see the sun rising this morning, but first i had to pack up with my wet tent,groundsheet before i could finally roll out at 9. The temp still at low at 4c even with the sun shinning. Both sides of the road is still fully covered by the white thick snow, but on the road,the snow had been cleared by the tractor,they must have done that very early in the morning,i really salute those workers and  appreciate their hard work. No big climb today,as the terrain is mostly rolling up and down. Today i spent quite a lot stopping in Ashoro town to buy a jacket with bottom pant and also a track bottom to keep warm. Total cost is 2980 yen with a free tower and a sock. Today otherwise considered a good day only to be spoilt by an ugly,selfish,inconsiderate Japanese couple. The incident goes like this, as i arrived at the targeted campsite in Ashoro,there were nobody around, and i decided to set my tent inside the bbq area with fully covered walls and roof. Everything been settled and ready to cook my dinner,then came this bastard,i understood what he wanted as he spoke Japanese with very unfriendly body language. He asked me to shift my tent to the open ground,and he said this place is not meant for camping.I know this place is not for camping,but camping outside will be very cold especially after last night snow storm. I sort of ignoring him,but he later went to see the caretaker,i knew then that no point of arguing, with me packing up to an open field. Why i curse this couple is because there are other bbq hut at the same vicinity,why disturb me? And you only bbq, why complain i set up tent here? Are they selfish? are they inconsiderate? This bastard better pray it doesn't rain or snow tonight, if not i will pray that something bad also will happen to them.
Great to see the sun out after the snow storm
