Tochigi Tour

because i dont have anything to do rite now besides waiting for afternoon to come coz im going to kitaurawa to see conconjump live again, i decided to write my holiday journey during the spring break starting from 7 march that was after school over and before im went back to my country. yes, we, 12 of foreign students in kisarazu national college got two days holiday for free, sponsored by our school, going to tochigi-ken! what a nice school to give us free holiday tour!

because this was a join venture tour with foreign student of oyama national college, we have to go to their college first to fetch them and visit some of their cool places in their school. so we headed to their school first and for me its my second time going there. ive been there illegally last time, i think in summer and this time nothing surprised me except the dormitory getting more dirtier.


we at oyama fountain


we didnt find any interesting place in oyama kousen but we find this cool car!

after we all (kisarazu and oyama student) got together in the bus, we headed to the first ever school in japan and i forgot their name. i think ashikawa school something like that. or is it arakawa? ahh nevermind. so this one old cute man give us guidance during the visit and he sure very fun to look haha. we went to the first ever school in japan and all i got to say was this old cute guidance, so you can imagine how boring was it rite.


this was once a school. ashikawa school?


the brilliant confucious and not-so-brilliant me


me, nyonjo and some god that give health to people according to one lady there

so after visiting the school we headed to our hotel. finally! it was a cool hotel and im satisfied with it. worth the stay! so after dinner at the hotel we were giving free time to do whatever we like so we decided to go to the nearest bowling center! there we had a lot of fun! its been a while since we had fun together, i mean for us kisarazu foreign student. the result was surprising too. from ranking no.1 to 11 (i guess) the game were conquered by the kisarazu foreign student! yeay, we kicked oyama foreign student's asses!!! so after the game we headed back to the hotel and have our own relaxing good night sleep....


bowling for soup anyone?


all of us plus somaiyeh's ghost

the next day we had to woke up early for check out and then straight to the copper mines that was operated a long time ago to make coins. it was a copper mines and all of us sure didnt have any interest in it but we have to go there coz its our school trip holiday and we were all sponsored by our own school, you guys understand rite? but it turned out to be a picture taking party in the mines instead of a boring tour. we sure took a lot of pictures there with these wooden people wondering around the mines half naked. yeah, very interesting....


introducing my half naked friend, fujimoto kenta

after visiting the mines we went to our main event or you can say the purpose of this tour that was visiting the so called nikko. nikko is a place where there are a lot of beautiful temples in it, and was belief to be the first place gods step his feet in the land of the rising sun among the buddha believer. so here you can see a lot of cool temples and hear interesting stories of the buddha religion. we all had fun here and some picture taking party going on too but this time we keep it under control coz its a sacred place. we had our lunch there and it was awefull! yeah, its my first time tasting awefull food in japan. not just me, all of us said its awefull. aaa nevermind... its the first time for me and hope the last time too.


one of the cool temples there


see the monkeys back there? i know im cooler than them


this picture is before i tasted the food

so after visiting all the cool places in nikko we headed to oyama college to drop the oyama foreign students before going back home. during journey back to kisarazu, we asked for karaoke in the bus and our guidance granted our request. so we headed home with a karaoke party in the bus. what a fun journey back. we reached kisarazu college at 7.00pm something and ki and din had planning dinner for us coz it will be their last dinner with us coz they will graduate in this short time. so we had dinner at dennys and the cheque was on ki and din. thank u sempai!!
