Hiroshima Internship Programme Day 16~.
Like the previous day, our internship was not held at the main branch but at the Ujina Branch which is located at Kaigan-doori.
Exterior of the Ujina Branch.
Interior of the Ujina Branch. After meeting the people who worked there, we were brought to a little room where we were briefed on what we were supposed to do for the day, as well as chit-chat a little.
Ujina Branch's branch manager Mr. Narasaki, Pei San, Mr. Nakamura
This time with me :D
We learnt how to count money with fake money(for practice use) there. Quite difficult to count money the Japanese way but the way they count money is damn cool! Oh, and we got to touch real money too! The stack of money in my hands is REAL lor. My god~! I want!!!
Pei San with the stack of money~
The ATM machine there. I got a feeling that the Japanese think that Singapore is a very backward country, or at least the people who were visibly shocked when we told them that we have ATMs/subways/use chopsticks in Singapore. Hello, Japanese are not the only people who use chopsticks can...and somemore, the usage of chopsticks was passed down by the Chinese lor! wtf.
Us in the Ujina Branch.
We then went to the harbour where there was a pretty cruise ship docked there. Bring me along~!
Next, Mr. Narasaki, along with Mr. Teramoto, brought us to the Hiroshima Manga Library...
...but it was closed!!! Somemore, the best thing was that...
...they close the library for a certain period of time ONCE a year and we suay suay went during that period. wtf.
Since we couldn't enter the library, we went to the Modern Art Museum that was situated opposite the library. The museum was nice but...I didn't understand any of it. -____- The exhibit with the living person was quite interesting though.
Had lunch at Cafe Gourmet where Mr. Narasaki gave us a treat! :D
While walking towards our table, I saw this guy, who's old enough to be my grandfather, reading a porno magazine. -________- In Singapore, I don't think that people are open enough to read porno magazines in public and somemore this is a old guy lor! wtf. In Japan's convenience stores, guys stand in there and read porno mangas/magazines like no one's business like that.
Anyway, moving on to lunch, we had a beef set meal each. Look at the amount of food!!! Couldn't finish ...damn!
Rice with pickles.
And of course, miso soup~! Should've eaten more!!!!
After lunch, we returned to the office as Mr. Narasaki had to complete some work. Pei San and I then followed Mr. Teramoto and some other guy who looked like Matsuyama Kenichi(no photos, sorry!) to give out tissue papers to customers while saying "Irasshaimase!".
After Mr. Narasaki finished his work, we then set off for the Yamato Museum located in Kure City, which took like at least 1 hour to reach by car!...which means that it took at least 2 hours to go to and fro. The driver for that day was Mr. Teramoto, who was a newbie. He only drove us to and fro but did not enter the museum but just waited in the car the whole time. Xin ku le~! Really sucks to be a newbie sometimes as you get to do all the sai gang(shitty jobs).
Me with the missiles.
The kamikaze plane.
Went to the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force(JMSDF) Museum, which was opposite the Yamato Museum.
Pei San outside the JMSDF Museum.
This is what toilet bowls look like in submarines. Erm...got difference meh?
Meal place~! The submarine tour was soooo cool!
Me and Mr. Narasaki~
