Study trip.....Japan, Osaka 1

I m lucky.

I m just a first year, and i was lucky enough to be chosen by my lecturer for this 1 month program, fully sponsored by the Japan Foundation to Osaka.

Although this was already my third trip to jp..still, it is different from the previous trips. Because...for the first time i was with other 9 Malaysians...and i came back with my Chinese, English , Malay(due to the presence of Indonsesians) fully functioning. For the past 2 experience, I came back taking around 2 days or more to get a grasp of my mother tongue. Try not speaking for 1 month...you won't know how it felt..So desperate that I spoke Chinese to myself...(Last time lar...)

Anyway....we were sponsored from top to toe, even receiving a lum sum of allowance for our stay there. As for accomodation, we stayed at Kansai International Center, in Osaka. And the best part is...one person per room!!!!!! Is totally heaven compare to college in UM..

the place that accomodate us foreigners..

my room

window view..

This is a hostel, the one I used to live in UM, is also a hostel...

But it DIFFERS SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!! And I don't even want to talk about the food...my brain doesn't work right thinking about the food back in my old hostel..

And also...we were just in time for the cherry blossom season.

It lasted for another 2 weeks or so before turning the whole street green...
