Re-Japanization

Finally, after almost two years I’ve been able to visit Japan again. The place that made me started my blog activity and taught me alot on how to share my thinking into a writing.

The first time I went to Japan was during my student exchange activity in 2008 to 2009. That was my first oversea travel experience in which I spent 1 year plus 4 days in the country to study about concrete technology as well as Japanese Culture. I am really happy that after more than 2 years of wondering on when can I get back here, I was able to return to Japan.

This time, I will stay for less than two weeks. I was invited by SISF to attend their anniversary ceremony in Tokyo. I was one from several oversea students that were granted transportation support from country of origin to Japan.  What a very good chance since I can also visit my relative and my previous lab in Tokyo Tech.

There are many places I haven’t explored during my first stay in Japan. Hopefully I can managed to visit all of the ‘unexplored’ list items although the summer weather is very hot here. Also, I am doing Fasting because now is muslim holy month of Ramadhan. Those make travelling during daytime very tiring and exhausting. However, I don’t know when will I able to visit Japan again so I will do my best!! Lets Enjoy Japan!!

Rainy Japan

For these 3 days it always raining in Tokyo. The air temperature is ranging from 15-19 degree of Celsius. Last 3 days of golden week was also raining. Not convenient for people who planned an outdoor vacation.

In Japan, it is easier to plan an activities involving weather condition. The weather forecast system is so advance so people can access the accurate weather forecast information from their hand phone at any time. Japanese government also provide a very convenient weather forecast site through this site : http://www.jma.go.jp/jma/en/menu.html . For those who lives outside Japan, and want to get update of Japan weather, you can try this site.

Though now is springtime and the summer is coming, I could not feel the warm breeze of spring. It says that this year weather system is a little bit late, we could still see snow in March and it was still cold in April.

The Sakura season is already ended. No more pink-white color of Sakura as I could see in the Sakura season. Though many flowers is blooming in this spring season, the feeling of seeing a beautiful Sakura blossom is irreplaceable. Missing those beautiful moment.
