List of my travel diary My train photoes The other contents

I cancelled the travel to S.Korea

I went to Kansai International Airport. But, while I was walking for the ticket counter of Korean Air, I felt a chill. Though I thought it wouldn't worsen, I decided to cancel the travel in case that it worsens.
I cancelled reservation of the flights and hotel. Total cancellation charge was about 8000 JPY.
After that, I ate ramen on the 3rd floor of the airport building.


Since it was wasteful to go all the way to Kansai International Airport without doing anything, I decided to drop in at Wakayama-daigakumae station, which was opened about a month ago.
I went back to Izumisano, and took Limited Express "Southern" for Misaki-Koen. At Misaki-Koen, I waited for local train at a waiting room. Then, an elderly woman gave me a bottle of beverage(Oronamin) and melon bread. She said "I can't eat or drink more. I live alone because my husband died recently. There is no man who can eat or drink. I want to give it to you."
Oh, my disorder brought me her kindness.


Local train for Wakayama-shi came in. I took the train and got off at Wakayama-daigakumae.

I went back home.
On my way home, I found some old-type nameplates in some stations.
Though Nankai introduced station numbers, Korean ,and Chinese, only the station number was written on the old-type nameplate. It must be because there was no space to write more information.
With replacement of ole-type nameplates, such an old-type nameplate is more and more precious.
