17/12/2009

Woke up around 7am in the morning,
the weather is quite cold. Haha.
As scheduled yesterday, today I suppose to go the high school.
Wee~
My parents send me to the school and the host sister driving us.

Random.

In front of the office.
We have to take off our shoes when entering the school.
LOL.
Visitors wear slippers. Ha!
One thing I found very interesting was Japanese will greet to anyone that they don't know at all.
While waiting, some teacher came in the office my host father will greet he or she "Ohaiyogozaimas". Means "good morning" in Japanese.
He was like greet to everyone! LOL
At the time we waiting the assistant principle showed up, then they talked about me *most probably*.
Oh yea we are waiting for KahJun and Kenji. =)
They're a bit late today.
After they came Kenji lead us to an office,
he have to go to his class first.
So the office was a English teachers' office,
all English teacher sit inside.
The teacher in-charged was Mr. Tamura(田村).
He said he teaching English in Kenji's class.
Oh nice.
He asked us to write our name in English,
then in Chinese.
KahJun that sei zai know how to write his name in Japanese words, *你好料~*
and this amazed Mr. Tamura A LOT.
Later on Mr. Tamura lead us to Kenji's class.
The whole school is like a maze,
I wonder how they recognize where is where. WOW!
Our show up is quite special for them.
That time we step in the class some girls already started to introduce themselves.
"Hello, my name is XXX", very normal introduction.
This class is 2A, high school grade 2.
Many girls tell me their name but somehow I found Japanese name is difficult to remember.
Most of them ends with ko, ka, and whatever.
So far I remembered Ayako and Yuka. =)
And also, I noticed something.
They all wearing the same shoe! Like what???
Confused and I don't know how to ask them.
Their class teacher was Miss Sasaki, she is teaching Chemistry.

Class scene.
Next on, English Writing period.
Which is Mr. Tamura teaching.
Their handouts quite big in size bigger than A4 size, me and KahJun get it too.
Today we learned about Okinawa. LOL
Okinawa is different with Japan Mainland.
Many years ago Okinawa do have Kings.
Also we learned some new words!

Mix = Campuru *this a bit sounds like "campur" *
Nai-chi = Japan mainland
Nai-cha = How they called people who from mainland stay in Okinawa *read 奶茶 in Cantonese*

When the teacher talking about "Nai-cha", KahJun and me nearly burst into laughter.
We keep thinking of "Milk Tea 奶茶" when the teacher mentioned "Nai-cha".
HAHAHAHAHA

They have English Reading period, basically the old teacher just keep on reading the text.
And the students most of them sleeping, playing PSP, watching movie through their handphone. LOL
Japanese students' style?
History!! Oh my gosh I love their text book so muchieee. And the teacher was hilarious! XD
Lastly, Mathematics. Walau. According to KahJun, their addmath is much more difficult than what same age student in Malaysia studying. FYI, they are 16. The teacher was so so so boring to death. That time in class I just looking around. BORED!

Capture in Math class. That FAT teacher. ish

In Math class too.
Oh yea they like changing class for some period, not every.

Photo before left.
IDK, Erina, Ayako, KahJun and me.

Finally, school finished!
We going Kokusai Street with Kenji and some of his friend.
OH MY GOSH their school have free shuttle! Only for student who study in that school.
Walaooo envy laa, FREE wehh.
The bus was kinda of packed. O_O

Oh yea by the way the school called 昭和药科附属中学 Sho Wa Ya Ka Chiu Go Ku

Me and KahJun were like aliens at there.
Everyone was like staring at us. lol
After few minutes, we 're there! Kokusai Street.
Is a must visit place when you visit Okinawa.
Basically selling local food, products.

One thing I really really love Japan is because of their vending machine!
They have vending machine all around! And most importantly no one littering! Wow~

Taken at the beginning of Kokusai Street.
*I LOVE JAPANESE SCHOOL UNIFORM~~
The guy at the right side was a GENIUS,
scored full marks in exam all the time according to them.
His name is Omi, he have a very very COOL phone!! Envy la~
And the girl middle there wearing grey jacket is Reina.
Same age with me because she joined student exchange at USA for 1 year.
Her English is best among them. Hoho
The guy at back there without looking camera is 2A class monitor.
They used to call him Kodomo 店长,
because he have baby face. LOL
After take photo, lets start shopping!!

Pig head skin!! Can't believe they eat this. O_O

random shot at the street. =D

They like to display their food with models. All of them look so real.
After some shopping we started hunt for food.
Okinawa soba and Taco rice is typical food in Okinawa.
I ate Okinawa Soba yesterday, so today I decided to try Taco Rice.

So this is Taco Rice,
a combination of Taco and rice, is a invention of Okinawan.
Taste not bad though, but a bit spicy. Ish.

Thanks Reina for taking this photo! =)

Group pic! But not everyone inside. =(

Something like iced-kacang. Not bad wey.
After finished our lunch, we go shopping again.

Ultraman is beside us. Hoho.

Okinawa famous with pigs too. Oh yea also a kind of potato purple in colour. It's sweet!

OHHHH I LOVE THIS~~~
They have variety of choice not like Malaysia only have Planta, Peanut butter, Chocolate...

SEEEE THEY EVEN CAN PUT SAUSAGE INSIDE!! Creative lahhhh

Group photo before back!
I was quite rush to back because we YE having a welcoming party. Hehe.
And I realized that people in Okinawa don't like to use umbrella when raining.
According to them "Umbrella is only for Nai-cha" LOL~
My host mum picked me up at Kokusai Street,
and she sent KahJun and Kenji back as well. =)
Back to home and take bath,
change back the same cloth, uh I mean uniform.
The Lion Club insist us to wear uniform when formal event.
Pek cek! I hate uniform!
The welcoming party is located around Naha Airport.
Called Seven XX Club something. LOL~
Basically we go there just eat, introduce ourselves, listen to their speech, watch their performance and thats all.
So just let the photos do the talking.

Welcoming present.

3 people behind playing "San-Shin" *Will explain further more about San-Shin later on*
The woman dancing in front is famous person in Okinawa, according to PeiWah.
