Hokkaido 8

Yes!! We finally made it to he museum. The Ainu were the original inhabitatns of the Japanese Islands. They moved futher and futher North as the present Japanese people moved in. Now they have assimilated so much that it is almost impossible to find any pure Ainu people.


Many of the artifacts had similarities with Northern Indian culture we even saw a log canoe.

looks pretty cool. Btw you misspelled assimilated, and you have "is is" instead of "it is"... might want to do some copy editing

wow, that's interesting information about the people.

looks like it's been a busy travelling and setting up month for you. Hopefully you get some time to get refreshed in between all the work you're doing! :)
