INSTANT RAMEN MUSEUM!!!
Went to Ikeda (in Osaka prefecture) to visit the Instant Ramen Museum, since the guy who invented it came from Ikeda. Got to see A LOT of cup ramen, like the very first instant noodles, and the various instant noodles from the last 5 decades, how they put the noodles in the cup, etc. Then we got to make our own variation of cup noodles where we got a cup, decorated it and chose our own soup base and toppings.
then we went to the tasting room and ate instant noodles from different prefectures o(>▽<)o
Afterwards, we walked to big park nearby (satsukiyama park, i think it was called). and along the route to get there we noticed a recurring theme happening....
yes.... wombats.... everywhere!
then when we got to the foot of Satsuki Mountain, we found a park and had fun going on the slides and swings
and wandered around the park till we found the free zoo somewhere in it (as well as discovering the autumn foliage beginning to come out) and got to reminisce in some familiar animals from back home...
unfortunately, i was underwhelmed by the number of wombats that they had there (Wombat population in Satsukiyama zoo : 1).
Then we went to the shrine nearby and some random statues in the area (apologies to the sculptor if i offended ya...)
Wed 3rd Nov Culture Day
Went to the Gakuensai (school festival) as it was the last day and also for the free Yuna Ito concert. There was a lot of food stalls, performances and displays by the students. Couldn't take any photos or videos during the concert since there was one of the staff members standing right in front of me.... =___=
After the concert, had Japanese-style yakiniku with a couple of the 3A girls =] 焼肉は美味しかった。
Thanks to the Gakuensai we had school for 3.5 days *thumbs up*
yakiniku! yummm!! it looks so fiery though o_O
