Nagano Here We Go!
Saturday, May 2, 2009
What makes golden week so golden? No, it's not the spring showers, but the consecutive national holidays that are connected to a voluptuous weekend. I was finally going to have some time to explore Japan... or so I thought. The first three days... I relaxed! "You're in Japan, you should go immerse yourself in the culture!", I could hear some people yelling, but after the first couple of tumultuous weeks, trust me, it's what most people would do. I decided for the first couple of days to just relax, but I also planned to take a trip with some international students from a local college.
This was a bus trip to the beautiful, serene mountains of Nagano. The bus ride took about 4 hours from Toyohashi station to our first destination, but it wasn't too bad. I talked with an Indonesian international student named Sidu. She was interesting and reminded me of a person I met in high school in Japan.
The only problem I had with the trip was that the stops were very brief. The trip primarily consisted of sitting in the bus, only leaving about an hour and a half to explore Nagano.
Everyone was very nice. I noticed almost all of the students had very nice DSLR cameras! They all seemed to be avid photographers, including Sidu.
