To the south we go : Nagoya trip

Assalamualaikum, good evening & こんにちは,


Map of Japan


After 4 days of travelling to the north part of Japan ; Sapporo, Hokkaido. Now, the next trip brought me to the south of Japan which is Nagoya. Nagoya is located in Aichi Prefecture. (Refer to picture above), Aichi Prefecture is numbered 23 while the place i'm living is numbered  14 ; Kanagawa Prefecture. Seems near right? Well, proceed the reading and you will know how long it takes to reach there.


この夏休みに日本の北方、詳しくは札幌北海道へ行きました!次回は日本の南方の番だ。だから、このポストで俺のこの夏休みの3回目の旅行所;名古屋について!札幌から帰ったら、一日ぐらい休んで、また次の日の夜に名古屋へ出発した。連続旅行と言える。すごいだろう?(笑)
俺は旅行が本当に大好き。いろいろな経験をもらって、間接的にその経験を日常生活に使って、偶然に我々成熟したでしょう?

The uniqueness of this trip was; my 1st trip with my japanese friends. Well, at least i've balanced myself. Travelled with my malaysian & japanese friends on the same summer holiday. Thanks to my part-time job, i gained extra money to have such a numberous amount of travel in 1 holiday. Back to my trip, it was my 1st time to travel in Japan by express bus. Furthermore, night bus. Never thought that the bus terminal would be so crowded. Seems like night bus got their own fans. My bus departed from shinjuku bus terminal on 15th September 2012 (Saturday), 11.50 pm. 

今回の旅は俺の初めて日本人の友達と一緒にの旅行だ。この前、鎌倉へ行ったときも日本人と一緒に行ったけど、俺の住んでるところと鎌倉へあまり遠くない。だから、今回こそ日本人と一緒にの遠い旅行はこれが初めてだ。後は、夜行バスでこれは俺の初めての経験だ。深夜と言っても、新宿バスターミナルにこんなに人がいっぱいいると全然思わなかった。俺たちの夜行バスは9月15日に11.50の夜に出発した。

16 September 2012, Day 1 
2012年9月16日、一日目

We were greeted by this 'sight' upon arrival in Nagoya
朝6時、名古屋駅の近くに;お化け町みたいな感じ

Alhamdulillah, about 6 hours of travelling, finally arrived in Nagoya Station at 6 in the morning.  If you think that Aichi Prefecture is near? Think again! Upon our arrival in Nagoya, since it was still early in the morning (6 am japan local time), there were not many people on the street. But i never thought that the street would be soo empty (as you can see in the picture above). Even in my area, there will definitely got a few number of people on the street no matter how early it is. 

We searched for a place to take a cup of coffee for breakfast before heading to our reserved hotel.

バスで6時間ぐらいかかって、ちょうど6時に名古屋に着いた。着いたら、皆お腹ついてたので、朝ごはんを食べに行った。いい店を探してるところ、周りの景色を見たら、ちょっとびっくりした。名古屋の道で人が全然いないし、本当に「お化け町」みたいな感じだった。たぶん、まだ早いからねぇ。時間もまだ朝の6時だった。後は、あのとき、週末ので、皆家でごろごろしてたと思われた。

A great breakfast in nagoya! Winner coffee~ 大ー好き!

After put our luggage in hotel, we moved on to our first sightseeing destination here in Nagoya ; which was Nagoya Castle.

(Winner コーヒー飲んだ後)皆朝ごはん食べた後、ホテルで荷物を預けて、また出かけた。名古屋で最初の観光地は名古屋城に行った。行くぜ!


Nagoya City Hall....愛知市役所
(On the way to Nagoya Castle)


Nagoya castle admission ticket : 500¥per entry




Some performance conducted to show the life of the royal families living in Nagoya Castle during that time....unexpectedly interesting though

Next, we went to Nagoya downtown :
次、大顔観音の商店街行った:


The entrance gate....正門 


Turkey special ice-cream

ピンク大好き......姫ちゃんみたい 

Being kind to animal

That's it for the first day in Nagoya. We had soo much fun and tired of walking - we just walked from nagoya station to nagoya castle which took us about 30 minutes of walking. So, during the night, we decided to have a relax night and enjoy a view around sakae town.  

名古屋で初日はもうすぐ終わりだ。でも、その日に行ったところは;名古屋城と大顔観音の商店街はすごく楽しかった。ちょっと疲れたけどね~ だから、その夜、寛ぐな夜にしたい。だから、栄という名古屋にある大町でただ時間を潰して、散歩した。





We rode those ferries-wheel
観覧車乗ったよ!

Day 2
二日目

On the second day, we visited Nagoya Port. We spent most of our time for that day having fun around Nagoya Port. The first place we visited there was Nagoya Aquaria. Nagoya Aquaria is the largest aquaria in Japan.

二日目はほとんど名古屋港で遊んだ。最初の観光地は名古屋水族館だ。名古屋水族館は日本で一番大きい水族館である。

俺たち!Us!


The best part in Nagoya Aquaria was the show performed by a number of dolphin
イルカのパーフォマンス最高だった!




Trainer use dolphin as a surfboard

 Another show....sardine tornado

 Close-up view....sea urchin. ウニ触った!

starfish....ヒトデ!


Next, we visited the fuji ship, ふじ乗船

Final night in Nagoya....

We got our own picture of the ticket

18 September 2012,
帰る日



After had soo much fun, finally it's time to go back home. Plus, our new semester will start on the next day (19th September). With that, it's officially the end of our summer holiday. I had a great experiences throughout these holidays. Climbing the Mt. Fuji, travelling to north and south of Japan, other than tighten our bonds among my Malaysian friends, i managed to strengthen our friendship bonding with my japanese friends too. Throughout this nagoya trip, we even came out with our own group name. We called ourselves 'ese-kazoku' which means like adoptive family. Hope our bonding last forever~  

三日間の名古屋旅行とうとう終わった。時間の流れが速すぎて、三日間の休みなのに一瞬みたいな感じだった。あのとき、また名古屋駅で帰るバスを待つところだ。明日から(9月19日)に秋学期の授業が始まった。ということで、我々の夏休みはもう終わりだ!学生として、勉強という第一の学生責任をしなければならない。この名古屋旅行を通して、我々4人達の絆を近くなった。だって、三日間名古屋でいろんなこと一緒にやって、楽しいことを皆と一緒に共有した。さらに、俺達4人、自分のグループ名まで出てきた。我々は「えせ家族」と呼ばれる。(笑)

最後に、この絆は永遠まで続くと祈ってる…
