Next part of the Hiroshima Internship Programme~
2nd day of internship. Same as the day before, we were assigned to the HR department and our in-charges were Mr Nakamura and Ms Nakamoto. They treated us to Hiroshima's speciality, Okonomiyaki, for lunch. I seriously love okonomiyaki, especially the Hiroshima version. Then again, I've only eaten the try-to-imitate-Japan-but-fail-Singapore version so it's not really difficult to choose which version I like.
Ms Nakamoto, Me, Pei San, Mr Nakamura.
As the okonomiyaki was really too big for us to finish eating it (although both our in-charges managed to do so), we started to play with the thing that you are supposed to eat the okonomiyaki with. Whee~
Returned to the company's carpark after lunch and I was seriously amazed by how high-tech the carpark was. You just need to drive the car into the place as shown above and it will automatically get parked. To retrieve the car, simply key in the password or something and out it comes. So.freaking.cool.
Went to this place called Ougon San, which basically means...Golden Mountain(Huang Jin Shan)?
As Pei San's afraid of heights, she was like grabbing my hand the whole time we were up there. I, on the other hand, am afraid of walking down slopes so I was like the slowest one to descend the mountain.
Group photo~
Plus size cat. Look at it's hair/fur! So fluffy~ All the animals/pets that I saw in Japan had like damn pretty hair/fur, like as if they apply serum to them and get combed a million times per day.
Signboards in Japan are cute and sometimes funny, especially the English ones. Didnt take a photo of that though.
Pei San wanted to go to Fudoin so we got brought there.
Our in-charges were initally shocked when Pei San told them she wanted to go there because apparently, not many foreigners know about this place.
I really like how temples are really quiet and serene. :D
I've not been to Hiroshima Castle yet and really wanted to visit that place but because parking was a problem, we headed to the next destination instead.
So in the end, we went to Shukkeien.
Not many people were there that day(Of course la! It was still within working hours).
Shukkeien is a man-made garden.
I dont know how and why I went to climb onto this bridge. Although not really visible from this angle, the steps of the bridge were freaking smooth and tilted. Going up was a little difficult already...somemore had to come down. Since I'm afraid of slopes, I did the very unglam thing of removing my shoes and basically slid down the steps. If you see closely, those are my shoes at the foot of the bridge. I rock.
Dinner was at this family restaurant called Handaya. Basically, they display the different kinds of food on the shelves and in the fridge and you can pick whatever you want to eat. Like...mix-and-match? After selecting, you just need to proceed the cashier, pay up and enjoy your meal. Damn cool and not to mention...CHEAP. Really good for poor people like me.
As you can see from above, I've added links to names of shops and places of attractions so you can know more about that particular shop/place just by clicking on the link. All links are from this site. It's so freaking cool. Lots of information on Hiroshima.
