Fiest of all, I took the train I used to take.


From Tsuruhashi, I rode Hanshin9000series cars decorated AD of Kobe.


The Nankai Main Line from Namba (Airport Line) will probably keep going at Kansai Airport, dare to take the train runs Nankai Koya Line.To tell the truth, Nankai Main Line (Airport Line) is the general starter for the Airport Express ride.


From Mikunigaoka to the Kansai International Airport,I took Kisyu-ji rapid service train and then,I met a friend from Takarazuka.

When we arrived at Kansai International Airport, and various procedures were waiting for me.
At China Airlines counter, we were spoken to something by female attendant. After a friend of Takarazuka re-asked her in Japanese, She began to speak to us in Chinese.


Because it was left much time until boarding time, we ate at noodle shop.
After lunch, I went to the security check. a friend of Takarazuka was stuck with a metal belt.


To Intermediate station, we rode the Wing-shuttle.

Well,we got on the plane.
The takeoff
I saw Awaji Island, Naruto City, Tokushima City, Kochi Prefecture, Miyazaki Prefecture, Kagoshima Prefecture,we passed over there.


I noticed that Lunch in the cabin was prepared for us. I got meals, inspite of having eaten in Kansai International Airport.
In-flight meals included the Takoyaki,which is "specialties of Osaka". It was in a bag labeled

Before opening (lower left)



After opening


It was filled with custard and cake in the open, "I wonder if the Taiwanese people have the wrong knowledge about Takoyaki"But,considering the letter "Made in Abeno-ku,Osaka" was written on the package , that imagination turned to be the lie. What the hell What was that.


Arrived at Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport.
To Duty Free shop from here, we took the charter bus.
I saw the Taiwan Shinkansen viaduct and Taoyuan MRT construction.But ,I could not shoot.

"Sanchong" is the name of the city in Taiwan, is not currently attending the Metro (it is under construction), so we have to go there by bus or car.


Arrived at duty-free shop.
As we are told we had a set time and meeting place, I agreed with a friend of Takarazuka in the point that "As we know, shopping in duty free shop like this will not attract us, we shall walk out of town."


A few minutes' walk from the duty free shop took us to Zhongshan Junior High School station.
We Shot a little.

Killing time in a bookstore nearby.
Fine, I saw a book in Japanese language such as books written by Nanae Shiono.
Well, many books in the Japanese are about anime series or the world of entertainment.


We left the bookstore to return to the duty free shop,and assembled on time.


To the hotel.
So far, I was relieved since I was surrounded only by Japanese people*1.But, we have to act alone from here!


We went for dinner and a tour guide told us "Show a business card of the restaurant to a taxi driver ,and he will take you to the restaurant.
But I showed off the incredible mind by saying"We should go on the subway without taking taxis.". I went to Zhongshan Junior High School from Ximen.
This vanity caused serious situation later.

On the way, we changed trains at Zhongxiao Fuxing.Then girls who speaks Japanese encountered. They didn't get off at Zhongshan Junior High School station.


After having arrived at Zhongshan Junior High School station,I reseached the restaurant by Google Maps and the map written on the reverse of business card of the restaurant.
I was so thirsty that I went to Seven-Eleven(convenience store).
It seems that the clerk asked me something in Chinese.Off course, I had no clue to understand it.
It was a gesture to take a straw after paying the money, the clerk finally understand I mean "I do not need." by replying "I don't need." in Japanese.


After all,I said "We shall eat at near the hotel".We went to Ximen from Zhongxiao Fuxing.
We had dinner at a Chinese restaurant near the hotel.
By submitting the paper I wrote the menu, I put something in for dinner.


From there straight to the hotel to stop by dropping in Seven-Eleven.
"Namacha" or "Oi Ocha" were sold at the store as usual. The ad of "Namacha" was inserted in Zhongxiao Fuxing Station.


But I'm tired.

*1:Incidentally,though I don't know the reason,more than 70% of our organization were young women.
