Last day in Hiroshima.

As I managed to amass tons of stuff over the month I've been in Hiroshima, I was unable to stuff them all into my luggage. In fact, I left the training centre with one bulging lugage and 5 paper bags of stuff. Everyone was visibly shocked and asked me how was I going to pack all of them into one luggage and not get charged excess baggage weight at the same time. By the time I had to actually pack my luggage to board the plane, the 5 paper bags ballooned into 6 paper bags and one glass bottle of juice. In order to make more space for my purchases, I had to buy bag to put my clothes in and vacumn all the air out. However, even after doing so, I still had lots of unpacked stuff and I had no idea how to bring them back. (In case if you were wondering why I didn't hand carry them, it's because I already had a hand carry that was almost 7kg.)

The only way was to ship those excesses back so Okaasan and me went down to Kuroneko to do so. So cute right, the cats :D


I wanted to take a photo of the cats only but somehow, the saleslady thought that I wanted to take a photo with the cats...so yup, that's how we ended up doing so. Oh, the shitty thing about shipping things from Japan is that it's not cheap. It cost me 10,000yen(~SGD128) to ship back 5kg worth of stuff. Actually it was supposed to be 5,000yen but my box exceeded the allowed dimensions by 2 freaking cm so had to pay double instead. Can you believe it?!


Obaachan dozing off after dinner. So cute! Asked her to go to bed but she refused to because she wanted to send me off at the bus station. When it was finally time to go, she actually put on 3 different cardigans and wanted to know which one was nicer to wear out. =D


While waiting outside the house for Otousan to drive the car out, Obaachan suddenly took my hand and put a ring on my pudgy fingers...and so that's how the ring on my finger came about.


After I boarded the bus, I started tearing...so not glam can...but luckily it was a night bus so no one was going to look at me. Okay, the little kids who boarded the bus were pointing at my red nose and eyes...-_- After 5~6hours on the bus, I reached Namba Station, took the JR to Kansai Airport where I waited for the rest of the girls to take the plane back home together.

Took Thai Airways back and the experience was...erm...let's just say that I don't want to take Thai Airways anymore if I can help it.
Firstly, we had to transit for 5 freaking hours and it wasn't fun at all as the prices of the stuff in the airport was so expensive.
Next, we went to ask the Thai Airways counter guy if dinner would be served or not and he said no...so we went to find a shop to eat dinner before boarding the plane and guess what, dinner was served!
Thirdly, when dinner was served on the plane, the cabin attendant asked one of the girls if she wanted chicken or prawn in which she replied "prawn". (By the way, I kept hearing "prawn" as "pork". wtf is wrong with me?!) However, the cabin attendant then told her that there was no more prawn sets left and chucked the chicken set in front of her. At that same time, some ang moh wanted the prawn set and ta-da, suddenly there was prawn sets left! WTF?! My friend was so pissed off that she demanded the prawn set...which she asked for first. We paid the fucking same amount as the ang moh and I dont see why he should get the prawn set and not us just because he's white. Bah.
Next, at the moment when the cabin attendants were collecting used cups back, I haven't finished my drink yet so one of them stood next to me, coughed out loudly and looked at me with a scary look as if telling me to hurry up and stop wasting her time. Kaoz.
Lastly, the cabin attendants were scary and rude. One passenger accidentally pressed the button to call for assistance and one cabin attendant came out asking in a rude voice, "YOU CALLED?" Considering that I was seated at least 5 rows behind that passenger and I could still hear him, imagine the volume the cabin attendant spoke in. Apparently, the passenger was clueless about it because the cabin attendant went, "BUT YOU PRESSED THE BUTTON!" He then leant over to switch off the button, I presume, and went back to where he came from...but not forgetting to turn back and stare at the passenger with a dont-mess-with-me look. -_____-

I hate Thai Airways...Bah.

In a damn abrupt conclusion, the Hiroshima trip was damn fun~ Whee~
