Off we go!!1stly, let me introduce my 'tour guides'. On the right is my 'oh-so-blow' class teacher and on the right is the super pro computer teacher! They are in charge of our welfare for the next 2 days and to make sure we don't go missing in Aichi. Most importantly however, they are supervising us against doing anything silly(which my class has a reputation of)
1st stop, picture at one of the rest areas. We were like a bunch of businessman on a our way to make millions. Only our childish behavior gave us out! I don't know why, but its school rule to wear like this when you are out in a school trip. No complains though, its kinda chilly out here already.
This happens during lunch hour...a bunch of smart looking, suit wearing guys eating bento(boxed rice) in a garden just outside the city. Embarrassed? Have no fear, all Japanese do the same. Suit wearing is the new casual swearing!
The main purpose for this trip is to visit as many factories(its actually lawatan sambil belajar) as possible during this short 2 days. Aichi is the hometown of Toyota, the pride of Japan. We visited the main factory (no pictures allowed) so this showroom with the latest Toyota cars is the best I can do to show here. Rest assured, theres nothing too high tech going on inside the factory. Its just the manufacturing plant, not the R&D department.
A quick fact: Toyota's investment in this prefecture is so great, that if it goes kapoo, then there will be hundreds of thousands of jobless ppl here!
You've seen this in my blog more than 1 year ago...
Now THIS, is new! A modified version which looks sportier and with a huge headlamp attached. I notice that names of stuffs these days all begins with 'i', no thanks to i-pod. 'i' is now a word so cool, if you have it in front of your product name, sure can sell 1! i-keropok anyone?
Toyota's famous mascot, kiss~kiss~?
Truthfully speaking(or typing) there isn't much pictures that I can show cos most of the places I went to were all no-camera zones. In order not to end my blog so soon, I'll do a little intro about the Japanese friends in my class, starting with my closer friends.
Fom left: Yamaki, Tat-cyan, Nan-cyan & Cheong-cyan (0.O)!Tat-cyan is the exact opposite of Randy Gui. So completely different mentally & physically lol! Quiet & clam most of the time, you won't find him laughing too often though. But if he laughs, then your joke is definitely very good. Alas, don't let his small size fool you though, he is one of the best baseball player in my college & is 1 hell of a strong guy! I wouldn't wanna mess with this guy.
Nan-cyan is the guts guy who worships Hercules & Thor. Strength, power, stamina, blabla....He is a fan of my Mens Health magazine although according to him, he can't understand a single thing. Almost without fail, he challeges me to arm-wrestling every day. Why? Cos he still can't beat me yet :p
Theres Yamaki(but forgot to take his pic) who is 'Mr. Clean'. Always show off his ability to stay away from pornographic cos he has an understanding gf(according to him) How true/fake is that? Well, lets not find out. This guy has been sitting beside me since last year. The most popular thing about him is his 1 special bag which he never brings home, not even once! Can't reveal whats inside, sensitive material.
These are my other friends. Some scholars, some sportsman, some 'gentleman'.
Kiibou is always serious looking, has this no nonsense attitude when I 1st met him.
Once you get to know him, hell turns loose...
A bright chatterbox trapped in a table filled with 2 of the quietest person in class = 1 really funny scene!
Our room for the night. Looks dirty? Well, out of 4 person, only 2 used the room to actually sleep. The rest(including me) were at other rooms playing Nintendo Cube, PS and even mahjong while munching tons upon tons of chocolates. Japanese mahjong is almost the same with the M'sian version except that they can have a full set of doubles and still win, then.....why am I explaining? 99% of my reader don't even know how to play. Ask you mum, uncle, auntie to teach you, its good for your brain.
Highlight of the trip! FOOD! Nothing else is more memorable compared to this...
