The sunrise! The Japan's sky!
Hello Japan! Wong Sher Yi is in the house! *laugh*
Good morning Nihon (Japan)! Good morning everyone! What a great day I am having. *laugh*
Can't wait to meet my foster family.
My breakfast~ It is still hot when I am having it. Yummy~
Finally, after so many hours of travelling, we reached Fukuoka, Japan!
Hey guys~ let's put a big smile for the day!
This was the photo when we are heading to the custom.
We reached the custom. Everyone is busy taking out their passport and identification of the YE.
This was the photo of two Japanese pilots which i managed to snap after i checked in and waiting for others. They seem to be very handsome and I am envy because once before this, I wish to be a pilot. Somehow, who can predict the future? My dream extincted when i knew that my height is not qualify to be a pilot. *laugh*
After checked in, everyone requested for the washroom. Surprisingly, the washroom was so clean and not even one drop of water is on the floor. This was insane! Compare with the Malaysia's washroom, ours washroom was far way behind. *laugh* The washroom was super clean and dry! After done with my "business" there was a detected which automatically help the users to flash the water, Japan's technology is incredible, I think Malaysia should started to used it since most of them don't like to flash water and cause the stink smell. After that, I walked out from the toilet and I saw a Japanese wiped off the water droplets which around the basin after using it. OMG..Ethical which she is having is awesome! Compare with Malaysian, I am guilty. *laugh*
Once we step out, we heard applause and saw lots of Lions members with lots of foster parents are waiting for our departure to Fukuoka. They seem to be very happy since most of them welcome us with a sweet big smile. Great to see them!
Then, they brought us to the meeting room and have a welcome ceremony and some welcome speeches from the Lions members of Fukuoka.
After the ceremony, most of the foster family brought their foster children back to home except Yi Kai, Vanessa and me. Honestly, on that day after ceremony, i can't see my foster family, on that spot a fear feeling came to me. So i hold their details and asked one of the member. Surprisingly, they asked me to hold on because I need to take another train to my foster family house because their house is at Ibusuki. OMG, I felt relieved. *laugh*
Shinichi Egashira-san and a lady which I forgot her name (*sorry), brought me to the train station and guess what, I am going to travel to Ibusuki by the bullet train which is the fastest train in the world. *laugh*
Yahoo~ I felt exhilarated!
While waiting for the train, Shinichi Egashira-san spent me some donuts and coffee. *Thankyou*
This was a picture of the train ticket;
the table of the train which prepared for the passenger to have some meal or maybe to put something;
my seat's number which is 20C which near the window and me with the bullet train door. *laugh*
And what made me exhilarated was I am going to travel to Kagoshima's train station by Shinkansen (bullet train) all alone!
Can you imagine, I am travelling alone in a foreign country and a country which most of them only speak Japanese.
Oh My Gosh!
This is insane but, I am happy with it and this is really cool~ I'm loving it! *laugh*
Travel~travel~travel~
I been in the train for almost 2 hours, but at last..
I reached Kagoshima's train station which is the last station of all. *laugh*
And really thank you to the uncle which sitting beside me, he is kind. He guided me when should leave the train and actually he is going to a destination which same as me! He even spent me, a stranger a bottle of Mocha (Green tea) when he bought a drink from a train stewardess. *laugh*
Conclusion, Japaneses are friendly, no regret for coming to Japan.
When we reached our destination, the uncle helped me to bring my luggage down *touching* and after help me to find my foster family only leave me there. He is so kind. *thank you*
When i reached Kagishima's train station, i saw a Lions Youth Exchange banner which hanging on the pole and the situation is not the same as the airport, only Okasan, Satomi onesan and Shoichi Setoyama-san, 3 peoples who are standing in front of the door waiting for my arrived. Shoichi Setoyama-san asked me: Do you know who am i? *laugh* You know what i say, i called him Otosan! *laugh* Actually he the District Youth Camp Exchange Chairperson. *laugh* My Otosan is not there, because he is on duty in the hospital. So embarrassing, but he is a kind person, he laugh instead of correct me and continue let me to called him Otosan. *laugh*
They brought me to the meeting room and explain everything to me and thanks to Satomi onesan, she is the one who translate everything to me. There is also question and answer section for Okasan to ask some questions.
Later, Shoichi Setoyama-san brought us to a restaurant and have our lunch since it's almost 1pm.
We chit chat for quite a moment and Shoichi Setoyama-san said my smiling is very charming and I am speechless. Firstly, I don't know what to say instead of "Arigato Gozaimasu". Secondly, I don't really know how to speak Japanese although I learned some before i go to Japan.
So, i just smile and said thank you. *laugh*
After lunch, Shoichi Setoyama-san went back and left 3 of us shopping for a while at the train station. Okasan bought two rain deer for a small decoration of the house because Christmas is coming.
Later, we spent about 2 hours to reach Ibusuki.
Along the road to Ibusuki, Okasan n Onesan do stop for a moment for me to snap some nice photo.
This was the pictures which i snapped when we are at the Ikeda-ko (Lake Ikeda) and i saw a 7 to 12 meter long of Unagi. *laugh*
According to what Okasan explained to me that Issy, the dinosaur looks like shown in the picture was the legend of the lake which the Issy is living in the lake. But it is a legend, no one know the true.
This was Sen Gan Bira Sizen Kouen (Sen Gan Bira Sizen Garden). When we reached there it is around 11 degree Celsius. Quite cold, but still alright for me. *laugh*
This was the living room which decorated with a rain deer's head.
Before we reached home, Okasan and Onesan brought me to the hospital to meet with my Otosan, Mitsuharu Higo and two Oneesan, Takaharu and Akihumi. They are friendly, Great to see them!
After that we went back to Okasan's house which I met another two Onesan, Yumiko and Satsuki which preparing the welcome party for me. *smile*
Later, Okasan brought me to my sleeping room and asked me to change and rest. She is so sweet.
This was my sleeping room which I am going to sleep alone prepared by Okasan. She is so thoughtful.
This was some of my winter jacket~
This was Otosan and Okasan's garden. Beautiful right? *laugh*
This is Sukiyaki which prepared by them as my welcome dinner.
Sukiyaki is a Japanese dish in the nabemono (Japanese hot pot) style.
It consists of meat (usually thinly sliced beef) which is slowly cooked or simmered at the table, alongside vegetables and other ingredients, in a shallow iron pot in a mixture of soy sauce, sugar, and mirin. Before being eaten, the ingredients are usually dipped in a small bowl of raw, beaten eggs.
Generally sukiyaki is a winter dish and it is commonly found at bōnenkai, Japanese year-end parties.
