List of my travel diary My train photoes The other contents

I met a Hong Konger at Tennoji

I went to Tennoji to meet a Hong Konger in Kanku Rapid Service Train.
We took the train for Osaka. From Osaka, we intended to take Special Rapid Service Train for Kyoto.
But, the word "S.Rapid" cannot be found in departure trains list on information board. According to a station staff, the train was 40 mins behind the schedule. So, we took Rapid Service Train for Kyoto. In order to avoid the crowded train, we changed trains at Takatsuki and finally reached Kyoto. Near Kyoto station, we ate Gyu-don at Yoshinoya.


From Kyoto, we took Kintetsu trains and went to Osaka-Namba. Because Kintetsu Lines are the most familiar lines for me, I decided to introduce him to Kintetsu Lines. But, I don't know whether it was really interesting for him.


At Namba, we went to AKB shop, and ate Takoyaki. Because the Hong Konger couldn't say "How can we order it?" in Japanese, he asked me the question in English.
We can choose how many Takoyaki we would eat and a kind of tastes.
Though I couldn't translate each choice into English. I said the choices to a clerk in Japanese.


After eating Takoyaki, we headed for Tennoji to see situations of Hanwa Line, which was under suspension due to landslide.
All the trains at the platforms only for Hanwa Line were treated as "Not in service".


Then, I said goodbye to him.
