Breakfast at the hotel. Japanese style breakfast is really good.

On the morning of the second day we went sightseeing to Dazaifu Tenman Shrine. I got to see some unique Japanese architecture and a Japanese shrine.


Caruto bought a pudding. The woman at the stall wanted to get a photo with Caruto so we took a photo together. Japanese pudding is amazing.

I finally make my appearance in the photo gallery. I’m standing in front of an offering box or something. 。

Caruto cleansing his hands. I want a photo too~


These birds didn’t seem to budge no matter how close you got to them. I wonder if they’re not waiting to try and pick off some of those carp fish. The fish were huge too by the way. They were about the same size as one of my arms.


Caruto wrote down a wish on one of the “ema” he bought from the shrine. He wrote, “Victorious Life.” An impossible wish perhaps?... Kaname also wrote a wish. He’s got looks, a great personality and he’s two years older than me (lol).

A photo before these three dedicated their “ema” to the shrine. The Thai interpreter, Reika, Fay and Kaname.

This tree was enormous. Caruto is quite short but he looked even tinier standing next to this tree.

Popular Caruto. The girls love him.

We ate lunch at a restaurant called “House of Umbrellas.”


Plum somen (left). It tasted a bit like the “Mirumyon” we have in Pusan. This isn’t what I ordered though…I just asked for a bite (hehe). I ordered the soba sushi (right). I thought it would be like a regular sushi roll but it was full of wasabi and not to my liking at all!

In the afternoon we had a meet-and-greet. I didn’t take many photos here. It was a fun event though. We all exchanged business cards while we ate and I met a lot of people. I also got to meet people from SBS Artech who are the producers of the Korean Vocaloid, SeeU. There were songs and dances and it was really fun. Unlucky Caruto drew the first position straw for the performance the next day.

That night we ate ramen at one of the yatai stalls along the river. Personally, I liked the ramen we ate on the first day much better (lol). The Thai representative was so exhausted that she passed out and I had to carry her on my back, back to the hotel. I wanted to carry her in my arms but carrying someone who has feinted for more than 10 minutes is quite an impossible task. She’s still so young and perhaps hadn’t fully adjusted to the time difference and change in climate yet.
