School visit

Hello, I'm Ayaka.
How are you? ^^

On the 2nd of August, we went to Xavier collage.
The school is a fast class boys' school.

We helped them to study Japanese.
We could eat sushi, rice ball, fried shrimp and takoyaki...etc with them at lunch time. It was delicious and I felt nostalgic.




After lunch, we talked about school in Japan, Sports, Japanese cartoon and fashion with them. We were surprised because they spoke Japanese well. Also questions were very difficult for us. Most students said that they had been to Japan.




After that we looked around the school. We could see very beautiful view from school. It's now an important memory for us.

I want to meet them again!^^

My holiday memory

Hi (^0^)/ ☆=
I’m Mami who is one of Koala-blogger.
Today is the first time to write a blog.
I'm a student of Hospitarity and Tourism Technical College. My major is ‘Airline’. I'm from Kagoshima prefecture. In Kagoshima, it is famous for Berkshire (Black pig), a clear liquor (distilled from sweet potatoes), Sakurajima, Takamori Saigo and Steaming hot springs sand and more. Did you know that?? I love Kagoshima !! Actually, we have been here 4 months, but I'm not homesick yet. Now, we get used to Australian life. Now, there are many things I want to write but today I’ll tell you about a trip during my holiday.

I went to Sydney with Namiko, Manatsu, Ayaka, Shuri, Hidemi and Yuna for 4 days. We stayed at the airport the night before. We spent a time in the morning at the airport. And then, we had a breakfast. After that we were waiting to board. We were excited about going to Sydney!! Actually, the airplane was delayed for 4 hours! So, this ruined our plan of day one in Sydney. This can happen when travelling. We went to the city on the first day in Sydney. We were very lucky when we went to the city because there was the concert of Lady GAGA!!!So the City was very packed. In the City it was very busy because most people dress up like a Lady GAGA. It was a lively night!

On the second day, we visited to Sydney aquarium. We could see many kinds of fish, shark and crocodile. So we were high spirited like children. The aquarium is enjoyable place for even adults.

Next, we visited to the Opera house. The Opera house is so big. It is worthwhile of cultural heritage, isn't it?! The Opera house is built in 1973. The Opera house is located in the cape of Sydney port. The Opera house was created with the image of shells and a sail of sailboats.

We could take a lot of pictures at the Opera house.
It was a very beautiful illumination at night.






On the third day, we visited to Greater Blue Mountains Area. It takes about two hours by train from the City. The Greater Blue Mountains Area is Nature Heritage Site registered. So, I was speechless when I saw the scale of beautiful nature. We took on Scenic Skyway and Scenic Cableway. The floor was glass at Scenic Skyway. We were also able to enjoy walking like in the sky while seeing view 300 meters below. Scenic Railway looks like a roller coaster and it goes into a nosedive on slopes of 52 degrees. It was surprisingly fast so I did not get a chance to see the view much. It was the best roller coaster in the great nature. I could enjoy Blue Mountains forest from the air. Finally, we crossed the Three Sisters. The Three Sisters is famous for the legend by Aborigines. Huge three rocks "Three sisters" have a fantastic shape. The heights are 922 meters, 918 meters, and 906 meters and they are 3000 feet (more than 915 meters) above sea level We walked down stairs gingerly about 10 minutes. I stood there in utter amazement when I looked at majestic nature from “Three sisters”. On the last day, we went to the market. We could buy souvenir a lot. Every day when travelling, we talked a lot until morning, so we could not have enough sleep but we enjoyed and it was a full life.
Above all things, I saw two world heritages which is the best memories to me. The trip was very precious.

I want to Sydney once again. After this trip, I want to see more world heritages in the future. Now, where should I go next?
