In
November, I went to Tokyo for training class. This is the first time I’ve gone
to a large city such as Tokyo. My trip there was like discovering a new way of
life that I had only heard previously.
I
had always wanted to come Tokyo and I recently had the chance to spend two days
in this amazing city. I flew into Haneda Airport. After that, I took the Tokyo
Monorail from Haneda Airport to reach Sakura-kan. It took about 2 hours from
Haneda Airport to go there. The monorail was a great way to get around Tokyo - avoid
the slow road traffic and appeared as the lowest cost option. You need to
change trains but still convenient. Train was comfortable and clean. It was
fully automatic and controlled by computer. This is the first time I went by
Monorail so purchasing a ticket was not simple for me. Therefore, Sensei helped
me to do it. There are ticketing machines in every station. You need to know
your destination station. The fare is based on the distance traveled and you
will see how much you must pay for the trip.
At
your destination station, repeat the process. Put the ticket into the turnstile
as you exit. If there’s still value on the ticket, it’ll re-appear. If not, the
turnstile will keep it. If you lose your ticket, you can not go through. In the
first station, I didn’t know the ticket would re-appear in the turnstile and did
not take it. Therefore, I could not go through the next station and I had to
ask transit employee to help me out and buy the ticket again^^^
After
going to Sakura-kan, I joined in the training class about how to use the
machine for counting bacteria. They were very enthusiastic and showed me in
detail. In the evening, I didn’t know how to get my accommodation so they took
me to go there.
On
second day in Tokyo, I went to Haneda Airport by bus. In Haneda Airport, I had free
time to visit many shopping stores and bought a souvenir for my friends. I already took a lot of photos because I like taking photos with the
airplane. It reminds me about my dream that I’d always wanted since I was a
young child: become a flight attendance. However, I can not make my dream
come true because I am short^^^
Came back Nagasaki in
the evening and finished my first trip in Japan. There were so many experiences
and unforgettable memories. In the future, I hope I will have chances to visit
many places in Japan. See you again Tokyo!
