Visiting my Friend in Kagoshima pref.

My one of my wonderful friend is living in Kagoshima pref. We met each other in college in Miyazaki, and we weren't that good friend during college years. But we become a good friend after we graduate. Now she is working with Canadian nonviolent organization. She just got back from on-the-job training in Kenya. And she might go to Philippines or Columbia in South America soon. Anyway, I will shear with you my trip to Kagoshima.

Woke up at 5:15 am to catching 5:38am train. I suposed to wake up at 4:30am, but "Oh my gosh! I overslept!" but I didn't miss the train. ^^ (inside the train, me , looking at the morning sun from the window, bathroom, and inside the train) Saga station →　Tosu station → Shin Yatsushiro station (The Liminted express train)

Transferred to another line. Limited express to Shinkansen (super express train:bullet train.)
This line is the new in Kyushu. The train was gorgeous . I really loved it. It's thanks to this train. I can get to Kagoshima just 2hours and 30 minutes. It usually takes more than 4 hours to get to there. ^^

Kagoshima!!
Arrived at Kagoshima, and met my friend. First of all, she took me to local festival. It was really fun. Its like a local farmers' market.

We went to bedrock bath or you could say steam bedrock bath. You lay down streamed rockbed and sweat a lot. Dedrock bath is really popular in Japan, because it says reform the metabolic system. But it was sooooooooo hot!!!!! You really cant see me .... hehe

We did all kinds of stuff after visiting bedrock bath, then we went to beautiful scenic coast .

Dinner. My friend's mother took us to the Korean BBQ place. It was really easygoing restaurant. It was really nice

Next day, we've visited our college in Miyazaki. It bring back all kinds memories. Fight with my friends, time spend with my boyfriend, fool around with my friends and others. It was nice to go back there. We visited on Sunday, so we dicided to visit there on the weekdays. To see all the faculties and professors. ^^

Our college town is changed a lot. There are nice fancy coffee shops and restrants were built, and glad to see bustling community. We visited the new restaurant for lunch, and I found out Japanese restanrant menue is so kind. Most of the place has pictures of dish. I never see this kinds of menue in forign countires. When I visited my friend in Seattle, my friend took me out for dinner. I can read English, but it was hard to image the dish... ^^ but I had really nice meal at the restaurant. ^^

Oh, I had realy good weekend. Just being with my good friend is nice. Nice to see she is doing alright. Although, she is having problem, but at least she had fun, i guess. I went to Church with her, the I met 2 people from Englewood Colorado. Isn't is amazing? They knew CCHS, and we had really nice talk.. ^^

Anyway,

see yaaa....
