One train from Kichijoji to Shibuya, another from Shibuya to Ueno and a one-hour trip to Sakura, Chiba Prefecture cost us around 1500円. The museum was huge but gives the visitors sufficient information on the historical background of Japan. Entrance fee is 200円 only.

Sorry if some of the pics are not centered. I was using the wrong batteries, so when I turn on the camera I had to take the picture immediately.>_< Much love to Terry for editing the pictures.(^3^)/ Flash wasn't allowed in the museum so it was dark at first.:3

I'll try to write the details I remember during the trip. Most of these are miniature models of the towns/cities during their respective periods. Enjoy~

for everyone
So today we went to the National Museum of Japanese History in Sakura, Chiba Prefecture. The place was huge, and would have given me everything I needed to know about the history of Japan so that I don't need to attend Boccellari-sensei's class anymore... except that everything is written in Japanese.^^;; So my tutor had to stop and explain this and that to me.

The field trip would have been fun if we went on a sunny day, not on a day when a typhoon is coming in the afternoon. And it didn't help that the museum is fifteen minutes away from the station by foot. So yeah, after fifteen minutes of walking under the heavy rain, everyone was soaked while waiting for the train that'd take us back to Tokyo one hour later.

I'm so tired right now. We took three trains, the Inokashira line from Kichijoji to Shibuya, the Ginza line from Shibuya to Ueno, and the Keisei line from Ueno to Sakura, Chiba-ken. The trains here are really convenient; you can go from one prefecture to another just by taking the train. The trip was long so I was able to rest after exploring that huge museum for four hours.

In other news, my tutor called the Sony Ericsson office to ask whether they can repair my keitai, and they said they can't, and that no shops are allowed to accept foreign keitais for repair. I don't know why Klao nor Terry wouldn't believe me. This is Japan, not the Philippines for crying out loud. Like Winston said, when you break your phone, either it is replaced with a new one under warranty, or you buy a new one yourself. Karen also told me that if ever there is someone out there who repairs foreign phones, it'll just cost me a lot of money. The next solution would be buying a unit that uses a sim card and can contact other countries, but a unit like that is very expensive. Yodobashi-Akiba doesn't sell one, Klao said, so I don't know where I can buy that. Last resort will be sending my keitai back to the Philippines, have it repaired there, and have my parents send it back to me here. I am desperate to have my phone repaired because I must have contact with Terry and Mama everyday, or else I'll go mad here. So yeah, perfect timing for this thing to stop working.=_= I was so depressed last Wednesday that I was twenty minutes late for my first class the next day, because I had no energy. What to do... What to do...

Next week marks the end of October and that means I've been here for a month already! Woot!(^-^)/ And we can use the heater next month, yay~ I'm wearing two layers of clothing and using two comforters my senpai left me. I hope the leaves will turn red already. I want a picture of autumn leaves, dammit!!!XD
