More school festival food and other things. But mostly food.

Celery and spinach drink, and a guy who thought my "I am not Japanese t-shirt" was super funny

I spent Friday walking around the school festival with some friends. And on Saturday I had an hour or so that I did not have to work, so I found some time to find some more food at the festival then too.


A sloppily made tai-yaki-waffle 


Turkish kebab

Pakistan chicken curry and bread (very good!)

Pizza made from ingredients grown at the university

Palestinian sweets

African chicken

Thai food

Coconuts flavored ramen from Myanmar


Chicken wrap, from Pakistan

A piano cafe where you can request songs to be played live for you

The school festival also included June 6, which is "Sweden Day" in Sweden, so there was a Swedish girl presenting Sweden at our university (but I did not have time to go there)

Egyptian falafel

Palestinian cake

Deep fried bread, with ice cream

Avocado and bacon crepe

The robot club had games you could try (to win more food)

The manga club sold postcards

"Italian" "catalana"

Two guys selling tea

The "cooking club" sold chicken wraps, that were excellent!

Hokudai School Festival


Today is the first day of the Hokudai (my university) school festival. That means there are students dressed in strange outfits selling strange food. There are also rooms with huge model railways (the model railway club), manga drawing exhibits (the manga drawing club), rooms with live music (various music clubs of the university), and much more.

Big sized Jenga game

I had lunch at the festival booths. There are several kilometers of booths, so you cannot try all the food, but we found some interesting things.

"Greek style" yogurt pairfait

There was a guy in a white uniform trying to get people to try out the air guns of the air gun club. It looked funny when he in his captains uniform managed to get a group of high school girls in sailor uniforms to gather around.

I was told by a cute girl that sold me something called "Greek style yogurt parfait" that she had seen me perform magic in our magic bar. I was told by my Greek colleague that he has neither seen nor heard of anything even remotely similar to a yogurt parfait in Greece. But what does he know, anyway?

The agricultural department said that all the ingredients in this pizza were "made in Hokudai" (made at the experimental fields of our university). The pizza was great.

Deer sausage and horse sausage

Curry filled crepe

This was called a "hamburger" but was more like a chicken sandwich 

This was called "tacos" but was more like a very spicy spring roll

This was called tacos, and was pretty much that

Fish shaped sweet waffle filled with pizza toppings (cheese, tomato, etc.)

Grilled onigiri with miso and meat

School festival


The university school festival is a fun event, and it started two days before I even got back to Sapporo, soI missed most of it. I did manage to see some of the performances, and eat some of the food, though.

The insect club had live insects you could look at, and buy.
The robot club had robot games where you could win snacks.
A lamb meat burger.
Cucumber on a stick, traditional Japanese festival food.
My French friend was selling tacos.
Fish shaped Japanese waffles, very common festival food.
Hot dog with bread and salad.
Hot dog with a chopstick and a paper plate as wrapping.
Sign informing you of the Magic Cafe of my magician club.
Tooth shaped cookie from the dentist students.
Deep fried ice cream, and some deep fried fruits in the background.
A tired panda.
