Took Thai Airways from Singapore on 10th December. Transited at Thailand and reached the Kansai Airport on 11th December.


Next, we took the JR Haruka and Shinkansen Hikari to Hiroshima.


At the Shinkansen station:D


My first meal in Hiroshima! Everyone bought a bento from the supermarket and ate near the fountain. Their supermarket is like a larger version of 7-Eleven! You get to heat up your food there! The bento was really delicious and there were lots of food in it. The best thing is that...it's freaking cheap! Only 390 yen. Yum~


After lunch, we went to the Madza Museum. I always thought that Mazda was some French brand or something...turned out that it's Japanese.(Matsuda)...
Saw lots of cool cars at the museum but since we like just got off the plane in the morning, everyone was feeling damn sleepy. I even managed to fall asleep for like 2 seconds while watching the video...somemore it's not only the students who were dozing off...Okada sensei dozed off too, in a more obvious way than us. Haha.


After that, we proceeded to the Hiroshima Shinkin Bank. Seriously, never believe the Japanese when they tell you that you only have to walk a short distance...because it's never ever short! They told us it was a 15-min walk but in reality, it was a 30-min walk...in winter somemore. How freaking cold that was! In addition to it, we were like so sleepy. Why couldnt they like charter a bus for us?!

However, along the way to the Shinkin Bank, there were lots of light-ups along the roads of Hiroshima so ya, it wasnt that bad.


Met up with the Shinkin Bank President. Next, we finally got to meet our host families:D My host family was Shinkawa.


After that, we went back home and had dinner. Dinner was like super duper delicious. We had something like curry stew. Following that, I went to shower, called my parents and went off to zzzz.

And this ends my first day in Hiroshima:D
