Japan ^-^ Part 3.(Day 4) Fluorante Illumination

Went jogging in 6.00 am. the brightness was like 6.45am in Malaysia. I wore t-shirt and long pants, before i can go out, i was told to put on another long pants and another jacket!! and it was really cold!! the plce that we went is more likely a paddy field...Miyazaki is not exactly a big city like tokyo, and this is the part that i love best of all!!

Otousan ,okaasan , Johnny and Arisu

came back around 8.30, had breakfast.Shiroi miso sup( which i get it EVERYDAY, and it taste nice!), umeboshi, rice and strawberry. I was introduce to furikake, a kind of addition to the rice, like adding some salt and seaweed plus your favourite flavor( egg/ seafood/ ika/ salmon) to your rice. it is in dry form, er.. a better and healthier version of seasoning. which, according to them, only kids add that, and i like it alot! The rice and miso sup that we had is prepared by the staff in the hospital, we got a share of the hospital food almost every meal, but it taste real good!

i was introduce to Tezuka Shouko san, the head nurse after that...she is a really nice lady, but very serious when come to work. She and okaasan was sending New year cards.Told me lots of interesting stuff...like 'takyubin' which means 宅急便， courier service. It is widely used there compare to mails. erm...depends, actually.
Okaasan and shoukosan

Later, went with Sanae to do ' toge' --陶艺. before going there, we went to visit Yoshino's old folks home. ( my second host is the manager of 3 old folks home, they were actually affliated to my 1st host's hospital--before i came)
'toge'--陶艺 well, i didn't make it, but just see how he make it, we have it in Malaysia's Sarawak too. I went to there when i was Standard 6.. Instead, me and Sanae each got an opportunity to decorate a mug made of toge. Of course, money matters too. Nothing is free!!

The significant building of the place i 'made' 'toge'.District lion-kawano san's work place.He gave me this opportunity to visit this place! it's like a city, made for visitors, there are wine factory, restaurants, 'toge' centre, hotel, onsen, and lots of traditional features there. gift shops and boutique are also situated in that 'city'-----AYA ( water's origin- written on the building)

The sweet girl --Tamaki , who accompany us troughout the journey, showing us all the place around 'AYA' city. Thanks lot to her, she even made an effort to explain to me the process of wine making, in Japanese.She is really cute!

'Katsu Kare' -- pORK cURRY RICE( direct translation) Although it is named curry, haha...it is far away from Malaysia's spicy level !

At night, we took off to Miyazaki city with Kana, and Sanae. Both of them are receptionist in the hospital. There will be illuination in FLuorante- a place where lights deco are put up for christmas. Erm...i felt a bit weird there actually, Kana paid the bills for my entrance fee to see lights deco, where i can see almost everywhere in Malaysia's street. Anyway, it turn out to be really great---esp for couples. Its hard to get someone to take photos for the 3 of us, cause everyone seemed to be engaged, and BUSY. haha.....

it was really freezing outside.... From left, Sanae, me and Kana.

After dinner, we join otousan and okaasan at Bon-Bon Tei( a typical Japanese Bar)
had some weird dishes....cnt remember the names..Later, we went to the Game centre which is just down the road. haha....we took 'puricura' --the photo vending machine
( 大头贴 )。 Otousan claims that this is the first time coming to game centres and taking 'puricura' , haha...he doesnt look like a doctor here then...
At Bon-Bon Tei...-the bar counter::u can eat any of the food served on big plates on the table. All are weird to me..

hahaha...cute otousan was like thinking what to do next....

by the way, there are lots of vending machines-'jidouhanbaiki' selling all sorts, ranging from food, drinks, to books and newspaper. i came across a weird one..the soup machine....but didnt got a camera with me!!
