I’ve been dying to post about my Japan youth exchange experience and finally here i am… back home for a week break for Chinese New Year. Unfortunately, the urge of blogging has pathetically decrease as to compare with 2 weeks ago..
I guess i still do miss them.. but that’s just another story that I’ll tell in another time. Basically these are the things that i experienced in Nihon..
SUNRISE!!! No doubt Japan is also known as the land of the rising sun because of the uber-awesome sunrise! This was the 1st thing i saw when i woke up at around 6am.. Yong Jun was disturbed from his beauty sleep because i was too noisy mumbling “OMG OMG” while admiring the sunrise..
Immediately on my day of arrival, my impression towards Japan was WOW IT’S BLOODY ADVANCED OVER HERE! I’m not hinting that i live in a jungle or whatsoever but seriously, they are systematic, hi-tech and very VERY clean..
I’ve always underestimated the harshness of winter, obviously because it was my 1st winter overseas but as usual, i was proven badly wrong.. most of the time temperature will dropped to an unbearable state, especially windy days(gosh i hate windy days).. and the heater was my best friend for 3 weeks..
My 1st host family, how should i phrase it.. Lets just say, if you are to be hosted by a Japanese family.. you are considered immensely lucky because they’ll treat you like family x 100… Most of the time, Yoko-san will host me because their kids are still young and her husband is a very busy businessman. So, most of the credits are her’s. I salute her for being such a multi-tasking mom. *respect* Seriously. Nihon-jin are always BUSY!
The schedule they arranged for me was pretty hectic, despite only a week, it felt so looooong (not the boring type though) I was fatigue constantly, maybe it was the weather? the food? There was the parks, museums, castle, lions meeting just to name a few..
Which I’ll slowly post them up… stay tune bah..
