daY 12: Digital Hollywood University

2010-11-05...

our visit 2day.. we visited the Digital Hollywood University.. right in the center of Akihabara. yes the famous electronic town.. we were so excited of all the things that we can find there. like everything we wanna buy..

DHU is a university of digital animation. this is where the student were taught about cartoon and animation.. tv & movies.. "Entertainment is Everything" that's their motto. Its kind of interesting to get to knoe wat student can learn here but its kind of frustrated that we dont have a chance of how animation were produce..

in the evening, we have the some sort of forum with the IT Business Managers.. Mr Muzammil give them a very gud presentation of IT. But many comments were given about this session.

And.. as usual.. our curricular activities.. as sana-e san describe it.. hehe.. we drop at harajuku (again..) to do more.. and more shopping... ngehh3333.. this time we went to oriental plaza to find some t-shirt.. unluckily, that's not much choice for me bcoz there's not much choices for the 'S' size t-shirt.. :(

day 6: nippori & akihabara

saturdaY... 2010-10-30...

wahh.. sudah weekend hari ini. 2daY, kami g tgk fabric street dkt tmpt ni nama nippori. masing-masing dok borong kain ela.. ade yg dpt 100Yen semeter. lebih kurang RM2-3 gtu. murah sgt la tu cuma pilihan dn jenis kain tu tk berapa byk. jual longgok2 je. tk plan nk beli pun tp beli la jgak 2 pasang utk diri sendre. 380Yen semeter. 2 pasang=4 meter.

habis memborong kain, next destination is Akihabara. Akihabara - the largest elctronic city (kata org) - byk kedai duty free dn amat sesuai utk carik sourvenir.

hari masih hujan sepanjang hari. sejak kami kuar drp TIC pg td, hujannye sekata je. sejukk jgn ckp la kn.. jadinye hari ni tk dpt la nk amik gmbr sgt. masing-masing sibuk meredah hujan.. mmg tkley nk kate apa la kt Akihabara ni. kalo ikutkn hati sume nk dibeli. member-member mcm biasa memborong segala jenis mcm sourvenir utk dibawa balik ke msia. nmpknye setengah hari kt sini tk dan nk survey sume tmpt. kedai duty free melambak-lambak. antara item-item yg menjadi target kenkawan.. fridge magnet, keychain, kimono, bookmark, t-shirt, thumbdrive yg bentuk2nye tk penah jumpe kt msia.. (2GB je).. dkt Yodobashi (kompleks kedai 10 tingkat), sibuk plak memborong jam dn gondam..

aku pun beli la jugak.. ingat2 kenkawan kt opis kn.. tp hingga lewat mlm, aku rasa ade byk lg benda yg bole aku bawak balik ni.. tp apakan daya.. masa utk pulang suda.. huhuu..

daY 5: harajuku

Fri... 2010-10-29..

another day in tokyo.. huhuu.. kind of weird, kt sini mcmana senang je nk bangun pkul 6.30 pg (kalo kt msia pkul 5.30 pg niii).. excited to experienced another day of our programmes and visits..

our lecture 2day is on ICT Policy in Japan. Location - Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications. kind of surprise coz our seats completed with tagged name.. huhu.. kena duduk ikut nama gtu.. the lectures actually not to our satisfaction. its title is ICT Policy in Japan, but there aren't any policy dat we expected to hear or to get to know.. hmm..


after lunch our visit 2day is the Traffic Control Center at the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department.. as alwayz, we were on coaster and off to our destination.. I'm quite impressed by their road system. actually we have it all in Malaysia, our ITIS... but its not fully utilized as how the japanese had done it.. apa org melayu kate, 'hangat-hangat tahi ayam'.. Yes, their road a very clean, systematically plan.. as u can see from many of my pics.. :)

after lectures and visits, our unofficial visits continues... this time this place name 'harajuku'.. wat do we have here? hmm.. its actually just like Petaling Street in Malaysia.. Read about Harajuku, Takeshita Street - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Takeshita_Street

baLik ku tapau mcD.. kerana kesejukan menanti rakan-rakan yg tk habis bershopping. duhhh.. sojukkk mak oiii!

daY 3: sasazuka

2010-10-27... 23:11.. (Japan Time)

hai.. konbanwa.. hehe..

diam tk diam sudah 3 hari aku berada di bumi Nihon ni.. such a good xperience actually. tgk org jepun ni berkomunikasi mcm interesting sgt. senyum manjang je. diorg ni tkde masalah gknye kn..


hari ni kelas kami start pkul 10. 3 lecture hari ni drp pg smpai ke ptg.. duhh tongkat mata baikkKkKKk punye. mana tahan beb, udah ler tajuknye berat2..

10:00 Japanese Education
13:30 Japanese Politics & Government
15:00 Japanese History & Culture

rasa2 mcm belajar kt sekolah dulu pun ade. cuma bezanye kali ni aku jd org jepun la bukan org msia.. hehe..

one interesting thing 2day, Prof Itsuki Yasuyoshi told us during our Q&A. One of us ask about religious and sex education in school.. whether they are taught during their school years.. surprisingly, religious is not taught in school at all. its illegal for teachers to teach religious.. meaning that religious is not important at all for the japanese. as for sexual education, they are taught during their junior high school. one thing Prof said that, separation of boys and girls school is not just because they're boys and girls.. but bcoz what they are taught are different. interesting! so.. wat's the purpose of having boys' school and girls' school.. in msia?

politics and government is not my interest.. soo.. very sleepy laa.. haha.. history and culture of japan is suppose to be an interesting class, but its a little disappointed coz many japan culture is not covered..

yesterday, its on Japanese Economy.. well.. the class is so.. so...

kt sini pkul 5 lebih dh masuk maghrib. kira pkul 6 tu dh mlm la.. siangnye pendek. gelap suda.. mlm smlm after class, kami berpeluang jenjln satu shinjuku.. the road is pack wif ppl. langkah msing2cepat semacam. mcm mengejar sesuatu. kt sini bukan traffic yg jammed tp jammed dgn manusia. mlm ni kami jenjalan sekitar pusat JICA je. singgahlah kt kedai 100Yen. ala2 mcm kedai 5 hengget kt msia.. tp susah betul la nk carik makanan halal kt sini.. dh la sejuk, asik nk mengunyah je mulut ni..

anyway, sok pg kami ade lecture. ptg kami ade visit.. yeahh! our 1st visit.

2010-11-01, akan mula kursus Japanese Language Course start at 1830-2000. it's open to all JICA's student and its free! yess, I'm looking 4ward to it.. haha..

okaylah. its already 01:09. landing time.

oyasumi nasai!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tokyo_Metropolitan_Government_Building

Tujuan sebenar nk ke Shinjuku diteruskan. Agendanye, just pusing2 bandar Shinjuku. Angin mlm sgt sejuk, menggigit hingga ke tulang. Tatau nk balut tang mana lg pakaian kt badan.. haha.. Nak dibuat cerita, masa nk balik kami hmpir sesat mencari jalan pulang. Byk sungguh line keretapi kt Jepun ni.. tgk dlm gmbr kt bwh. nasib baik seorang japanese lady tunjukkan kami ke arah line yg betul.. akhirnye dapatlah kami pulang slps lebih sejam berpusing dlm bandar tu dlm udara sejuk tk terkata.
