a constitutional monarchy on a chain of islands off the E coast of Asia: main islands, Hokkaido, Honshu, Kyushu, and Shikoku.
Frankly, I miss Japan a lot. If I had a chance, I would live there! Well, we visited one of the main islands in Japan, Kyushu. I am happy that I came, never regretted.
First night in Japan was one of the best night. We had a chance to experience the hot spring before we go to sleep. The water there was great, it was naturally hot, around 40 degrees celsius and above. It was a good experience that Singapore can't offer.
We visited two schools in Japan, Kinkowan High School & Kagoshima Joho High School. Actually three indeed, Kagoshima University was the third school. We saw how their culture was like and how they actually conduct their lessons.
During the home stay, my buddy was a 30+ year old, male teacher. He is very friendly and has two kids, and his parents. Although the stay is very normal, I love to talk to the uncle and aunty although I don't know Japanese much. But what ever I say they would laugh. A little Japanese words I say they would praise me. Time flies, now we're in Singapore doing work again. The weather there was fine, much cooler then Singapore of course. I would want to encourage students to come for these trips. But four words to say.....
No money no talk.
I'm sorry, the pictures are not with me, so sorry that I can't post it up.
