Simplicity

It had been six years since I came back from Japan. I had been there for a month for a cultural exchange program. I had always wanted to write something about the exchange, but I was too lazy. Today, my itchy hands played around with Google Earth and I discovered that Google had done a great job adding more satelite pictures into its database. And yea, I found Toyota city in Aichi prefecture, where I stayed during my exchange program. Not only did I found my host family's house, but I have also found my host school. I am so proud of myself, as I still remember the way from my host famils house to the bus stop in downtown. LOL~

Here are some snapshots from Google Earth:

Here's where I lived when I was in Japan.

Here's where I waited for my school bus everyday. It's right in front of Sogo.

I had to walk to the bus stop everyday. It takes about 20 minutes walk to the bus stop.

It's a long journey from Toyota-shi to my school in Nisshin-shi. About 40 minutes to reach.

Here it is, Nagoya Daiichi High School. It's now renamed to Chubu University Daiichi High School.

Went to the city last weekend... Here are some pics to share:

At a bar next to Cinnabar Redd, where we had our buffet lunch

Me at a bangle store near Charminar. There are lotsa bangles here!

At Cinnabar Redd, having Chinese+Japanese buffet. No sushi, only teppanyaki

At Chevrolet showroom, while waiting for the rain to stop. Nice Corvette!

Here's the city centre, at the Hyderabad Central. Maybe the best departmental store around.

Finally... The most famous landmark here in Hyderabad, the Charminar

It has been more than a month for me to be at Hyderabad. Here are some photos of the place where I am staying:

The golf course (too bad I didnt have the time to play)

The outdoor amphitheater - They have monthly movie screenings here. Watched "Hitch" 2 weeks ago.

The swimming pool. Maybe I should locate some time to swim.

Here it is, the bird's eye view of the Satyam Technology Center. This is an old pic, there are more facilities n buildings rite now~
