Youkoso Nihon Ni - Welcome to Japan !

Hello guys! Back with me again, now I would like to tell you about my adventure in Japan. Enjoy my story okay.

My family and I celebrated the Moslem New Year Holiday for around 2 weeks in a country which had ever imperialized my country, Indonesia where I was born. Japan had imperialized Indonesia about 3 years long. In 1942 until 1945, those years were the worst moments for Indonesian citizen. However, finally, Indonesia had got their freedom on 17^th August 1945. And from that time, we celebrated this day as the Indonesian Independence Day. Japan has the sophisticated technology and they also had the biggest marine and had the biggest battleship in the world namely Yamato and Musashi. After Indonesian Independent, Japan and Indonesia had a good cooperation and built some Japan industries in Indonesia. That’s all about the historical of Japan.

Now, I would like to tell you about my first visited to Japan. It was in 2002, I was still 6 years old. I went to the biggest island in Japan called Honshu. But especially I went to the capital city of Japan “Tokyo” and it located in the Honshu Island. But, before I spent my holiday in Tokyo, I spent almost 6 days in Osaka city. My parents and I went to the hotel to check-in and left our luggage inside the hotel’s room that we had reserved. And I wanted to see my parents when they were signed the check form, but I was not tall enough to see the form on the table. So I decided to climb up the chair so I could see that. Oh, I was doing the silliest things. And I felt as same as Zacchaeus. Because he was short, so he climbed the sycamore tree to see Jesus. It made me very shy, but what should I do now? Making the hours playback time? Of course I didn’t. Made those things were only waste my time. My life must keep on going, right? Next, I went to many places in Osaka. I went to Japan with my mom’s friend and his family. His name is Sugio Budiman. He has a girl named Cynthia Budiman. She is also Gloria Junior High School student. She is in the 7^th grade now. I was very excited. And also at that time, Japan was cool and snowy. Yeah! The weather was very friendly.

I loved Japanese food! It was so delicious. The Set menu was ready to be eaten. Yummy! The salad, and there was raw fish also, namely sashimi. I loved unagi. It was the Japanese name for eel. It had consisted of many vitamins and good for our health. In Japanese food, there also had the starter and the dessert, too. Often, people consumed macha ice cream as their dessert. While we were eating our meals, we got a mug of hot Japanese tea named Ocha. I drank hot ocha for neutralized the oil food. Well, I wanted to have an opinion from Ms.Ayi that was related to Japan culture. Mmm, have you ever worn Kimuno, Ms? How does it feel when you tried it on?  Kimuno was the Japanese traditional clothes. Kimuno was nearly as same as “Qi Bao”, the Chinese traditional clothes.  That’s why I spent my holiday in Japan. Tokyo! That’s really totally amazing!  I went to Disney Sea and Disneyland, Azakuza. Such an awesome place. I could play mostly every game in there. Because, Japanese isn’t as tall as American. It was perfectly good time for me. I could take picture with Aladdin, Snow White, Woody Wood Packer and Cinderella too. I loved roller coaster. Every time I rode roller-coaster I always asked the guard to give me the first row. Oh My God! It was so fun. Some, people didn’t want to sit on the first row, because they were afraid of it. Hahaha. I played the Jurassic Park. I rode boat and boom! It splashed to the water before the Jurassic ate me.

But, even I went to many places in Japan, I couldn’t understand Japanese language. I could speak a little English, because I just started my English course in Kelt. I also went to Universal Studio Japan. Woo! The game was much adventure than Disneyland or Disney Sea. But, I didn’t care, just played and having fun, right?!  I spent my time in Universal for 3 days. I had mostly all games in there. There was food stand and also placed to buy things and gift. I bought a mickey hand torch, hair band, Winnie the Pooh doll, etc. I hope I will go to this awesome place in next chance. I played with my friend, Cynthia. Oh, I almost forgot. When I played ice-skating, I felt down, and got my trousers wet. My knee was swollen. Maybe, it was a good experience for me, not to play all the time, and not care about another person. But, that holiday was ended. Back to school!

I Miss You Japan!
