Ako Rin Nung nasa Pilipinas pa ako ay lagi kong nababalitaan na may mga turistang bus-bus kung bumaba sa may Central Market para mamili ng…

Miyasaki Escapade

This week, it’s Miyasaki for us. Miyasaki, together with Kumamoto, are the two nearest prefectures to Kagoshima so going there is no problem, especially if you have friends who own cars, which fortunately, I do. We are going to Miyasaki basically to visit S’ mom but of course you know that’s only one of our…

Sailing the High Seas

I am not what you might consider a hardcore mountaineer slash adventurer, who’d stop at nothing to climb the highest mountains and sail the highest seas but what do you expect? I’m supposed to be a computer scientist. But most certainly, I’d never turn down an opportunity to experience the life of these adventurers even…

When Kagoshima met Beppu

This weekend marks the weekend when Kagoshima (T and yours truly) met Beppu (S, L, among others). It’s my first time in Beppu and after that weekend, I don’t think it’s going to be the last.

Second Trip to Ocean Dome

This week, T, M and I went to Ocean Dome. This is my second time to Ocean Dome but I don’t care. Anywhere far from my boring apartment is fine with me. Besides, I’d be going there with a different set of friends, therefore, a different set of experiences. Inside M’s car, we were well…

Fukuoka 2000

Biking Around the City

One day, a friend, J, asked me if I wanted to go biking around the city. Being the newcomer and all, of course I said yes. What better way to explore the city than with a bike accompanied with a friend who knows all it’s best places. So this weekend, I’m going to bike around…

When the Trainees went to Tokyo

For three days starting October 7, we went on an adventurous and money-eating trip to Tokyo. On Saturday, we visited the land of milk and honey for all techno-freaks out there, Akihabara. On Sunday, we visited the magical world of Tokyo Disneyland and on Monday, we had an ocean adventure at the Yokohama Sea Paradise….

Summer Vacation!?!

We only had two office days this week since Monday to Wednesday is what they call Summer Vacation here in Japan. So, what does that mean for us. It simply means we don’t have access to the Internet from Saturday of last week until Wednesday of this week and boy was it difficult. We had…

Study Tour all over Japan. Yehey!

The start of the week was quite boring, really. But things immediately started to get better on Wednesday — the first day of our study tour and I will be dedicating this section to our study tour. First stop… Kyoto! We got there via shinkansen, more popularly known as the bullet train in less than…
