Afternoon sightseeing

So I still had some time left today so I went to Nijo Market (a fish market about two blocks square that is open from early in the morning until 6:00pm). It is a good place to sample Hokkaido sea-food, if you have lots of money to burn on a meal or a place to prepare freshly bought fish. Unfortunately, I do not have the luxury of either of these. And the market's famous dish, sea urchin and fish roe donburi (rice bowl) does not sound particularly appetizing to me either. But I did get to enjoy the local market flare as I walked up and down the stalls and I got to touch a giant crab. One more Sapporo must-see checked off my list.
