Last day class at Nihongo Center -- Winter break

The time flies without notice. I never thought of that I had been staying in Kyoto for 3 months. This was my last day class at Nihongo Center and I had to leave Japan after few days. 寂しい　(samishii) ～～

Anyway, my sensei (teacher) like to write a lot of kawaii (cute) words or draw a lot of kawaii icons on the white board. I'm gonna miss them so much.

During the last section of my class, they decided to have a small farewell for us (Jonathan, Charles, Simona and me). Thus, we were playing some games (with using Japanese conversation) for our last day class. In this games, for those who were standing in the middle of the circle more than 3 times, they had to sing a song.

While playing this game, we kept charging our seat. Thus, I just took this opportunity to take photo with those who seat next to me. I miss all of you .. !! ~~

After the class, Ueda sensei and Kubota sensei decided to have a farewell dinner for our class and 5Th floor class. A lot of people attended this dinner. Thus, we had to target those not so many people Izagaya (Japanese bar restaurant) and big enough to fit 2 classes of people.

Thanks you guys. I had a wonderful dinner. You guys are awesome.

~ Final Day ~ I miss you All ~

Kansai foreign Students Music Festival in Kyoto 21st, 2010

Last year I went to Japan, I felt that I was lucky to join this festival. This Kansai Foreign Students Music Festival in Kyoto 21st is an event that foreign students from universities around Kansai can introduce music and dance from their native countries. In fact, the aim for this festival was to deepen each other's understanding of everyone's culture and foster friendships among the performers and audience alike.

This music festival was held on Sunday, November 28 at 2pm, at Kyoto Kaikan Hall (Second Auditorium).

Nihongo Center's classmates and I were invited to join the world stage performance which was sing a Japanese song with the title of "Tomodachi Say What You Will" from SMAP. We went to practice in the morning. Luckily, I still can remember the dance step and the song lyric.

Food were provided for all the participants. We had a great dinner and met up a lot of people from different countries. But, I was the only Malaysian there.

I had a wonderful moment with all of them because we sang, we practiced and enjoyed this festival. I gonna miss you guys ... ^.^

Yes, My dear Nisse Nisse, haha .. because she sticked my name tag on her chest.

Je t'aime ...

A video - during rest time ~~ haha .. ^.^

Outskirt of Nagoya Trip

Yeah, I was away from my blog long time again .. Anyway, I am back =)





Where I had been ??? Yes, Nagoya ... (Actually, I just passed by only) .. XD
Most important, I have to acknowledged to Kitto san ... Thanks a lot ~~




In this photo above, we were travelling in Nagoya and heading to outskirt of Nagoya. Due to I had already shopped a lot in Osaka, thus, I have no point to shopped again in another city.

Our first stop at Inuyama. Inuyama is about 20 minutes drive distance from Nagoya city. This is not a big city, actually you can visit all the attractions with 1 to 2 hours. Around this Inuyama, there are few shrines, museums and castle available. Combined all attractions' ticket actually is cheaper than individual separate ticket. If not mistaken, all the attractions are open until 5pm only.

This is Inuyama Castle which is one of the oldest castle in Japan and one of the most original castle that never destroy until now. Furthermore, this castle is constructed with 3 level, 4 stories with 2 stories underground. Due to the originality of the castle, staircase is the only method for you to reach the top floor. In fact, the top floor has the most wonderful view of Inuyama. This is best castle that I had visited.

At the top floor of the Inuyama Castle, you can see a lot of houses or buildings surrounding it. This is wonderful.... ^.^

Anyway, I like this photo with no reason ... haha .. this was taken outside the Inuyama Castle with maple leaves.

Beside the Inuyama Castle, there is a Fushimi shrine. According to my friend, he said this is a branch from Fushimi Inari shrine that located in Kyoto. How true is it? I not sure .. Haha .. ~~

On the way to Gifu, We passed by Gero. What famous in Gero? No doubt, Onsen (Hot spring) which is one of the top three best in Japan !! This was soooo comfortable to take a hot bath in extremely cold temperature. I love it. This was amazing. You just need to pay around 200 to 300 yens to enter the public bath. Around this Gero area, there was a lot of hot spring that prepare for foot spa. And most important, this is free.

Next station, Takayama !!! A lot of place in Kansai region was not snowing yet. This must special thanks to my friend who purposely brought me there to see snow. Anyway, we were crazy actually. The night was extremely cold with -2.3 degree Celsius. We still playing snow ball fight.

Anyway, I had a nice trip around outskirt of Nagoya. Before we leave, my friend introduce a nice and famous food in Nagoya for us which was fried chicken wings. Most important, Nagoya people have their technique to eat this chicken wings. You can try that if you want.. haha .. !! great man ~~
