Japanese Class JICA

- Nihongo Breakthrough -

From survival to communication in Japanese....

The picture above is our graduation moment with our Tsuda-Sensei. She is very kind and passionate in teaching us and i would proudly says that she is a great nihon-go teacher.

Tumbs up - Arigato Gozaimashita

Apart of lecture, she even invites us play cards in the class... the purpose is to make us familiar with numbers (in Japanese) both in speaking and also listening. We also went to shopping mall (World Porter) to practice our speaking... went to Uketsuke asking for information... that was great!!!

After this i think is up to us (individual) to practice. Well as what our course leader says Mr. S. Furuya, we need to communicate with the Japanese people when we go out during practical session. And that wont take us very long coz on the 1st week of september we are already on field. Gambate ..... Gambate

Thanks to all for it was really fun studying .....

Guess what... Yokohama is Celebrating its 150 years Anniversay.... as Japan first International Port...

To be part of it, we had a sea cruise by boat for about 20 minutes to have a view on Yokohama from the sea. Well as you can see from the picture, this place is truely wonderful and romantic.

Durings nite with those most colourful lights, many couples romantiking, especially near the sea, under trees, at the park, etc.... If you wanna feel it come and taste it, it is good.

My Japanese friend told me during our cruise trip, she told me that if a couple went aboard the F-Wheel, at the peak, the guy proposed to the Girl "would you ____ me? must sure accepted by the girl and have a happy ending..... untill the end. {note: 'for good intention only'}

in Short Yokohama is very clean, romantic, lovely, beautiful (nite)... and fun if you experience the COSMO WORLD.

JICA-YOKOHAMA

11.08.2008 (Tuesday)

This day is my first day in JAPAN,

Yokohama International Centre... is where i will be staying for about 3 months...

We landed at Narita airport at 7.00am, took the Limousine Bus from Narita Airport to Tokyo City Air Terminal (TCAT) for 70minutes. From TCAT took a TAXI to JICA-Yokohama for 40minutes.

Becoz i didn't manage to get sleep while in the plane-JAL and also during the Bus & Taxi ride. i felt very tired and sleepy, but my stomach is empty, so i rush to get a hot water, pour it in bowl with bi-hun PAMA, makan then went to sleep @ 11.00am, woke up only about 3.00pm.

my first Dinner in JAPAN cost me YEN630.00. After makan my course mate and i went Jalan-Jalan, look what we found... F-wheel... superb... the theme called COSMOWORLD.... you would like to experience many games and excitement which will give you adrenaline-RUSH.

BANZAI.............. @ KAMIKAZE that kind of feeling.
