Every year with same date, my school have held a trip especially for us. We need to compete for bas space if the applicant is too many, but this year was awesome. Suitably number without too much or too little. Our destination was Shikoku island, a new first time place favorable to be visited by me. That's what the big reason to participate. Even though the journey only took one day, we had much enough time to sketch our sweat memories for this year trip.
Gathering all participant at 7.50 a.m, even some people were a little bit late and few people cancelled in last minutes. The bus started to move after 8 a.m. and announcement made by tourist guide to tell information about the place we were going. Before entering Shikoku island, our bus went through a long bridge into Awaji. My friend told me to pass the bridge with a car, you must pay 5,000 yen. Wow, high enough to pass that kind of bridge. But, assuming for their maintenance and beautifulness of human design at the bridge and surrounding, it is not possible to demand that price. Sometimes, if accident happen such as earthquake or tsunami, such big money is needed to repair or construct a new one.
Arriving in Awaji highway stop around 10. a.m. Unfortunately, Awaji was not in our trip schedule, besides we just went through this place to enter Kagawa prefecture, Shikoku island. In afternoon we arrived in one of the pretty park in Kagawa. We have only a few minutes to walk through the park before we ate our lunch. We could ate later but the food will not taste good as they were. I astonished for the lunch we ate because It was a very long time enough to eat such luxury cuisines. Eating enough and we could walked more for more minutes. We once started to walk, and we talked with each other.
Long time enough to be in such environment, either with Japanese and other foreigner. The end for park walk.
Heading to Kotohira and what my mistake was to sleep during the journey. I was not ready physically and spiritually to walk up to the shrine in Kotohira. Sleepy mode and forced to walk bit by bit until my brain refreshed once more. It's Ok now, time to listen to tour guide explanation and others. A big like monument was 1000,000 yen. With many block of it, we know that the Japanese have too much money to donate in such big amount. While returning to the bus, I saw a liked hand car, which people stand inside the box and there is 2 people will hold the box and walk for transportation. Our group was given a chance to hold the that kind of car and they said the car was too heavy. That the end of our Journey.
Even though we just only visited 2 places in a day, but we also learned many new Japanese culture such as their bridge, park and shrine. This journey definitely will not be end for today but will continue as we still search something about them, about Japanese.
