saying something about changes and learning

(Waa. . . what kind of wind that puffed me out to start a new post?!)

Anyway, it feels like I started a new life here in abroad. So many changes, of course, one of those is the environment (so nice to experience the calm cold nights here in Hiroshima during winter); second the people, i always wonder why there are so many Japanese here in Japan (LOL); the language, the biggest barrier which makes it uneasy to get bonded with the Japanese; my daily routine is also changed (from home-school-home to apartment-office-apartment); my physical status, i am still thin but i look healthier now than before; the budget, before i had no choice but to be thrifty to be able to buy what a need but now i can (at least) buy it anytime i need; the stress, before, making projects and preparing for exams and long tests were very stressful, now are those jobs that i need to finish over time, very stressful. . . and so many other changes. . .

But to stress out, i find all of this changes a very good twist in my life. It feels like all of these changes are sort of learning.
It's turning 1 year since i came in this foreign country, so many changes and i realized that a year of stay here is somewhat full of learning. Learning which is something you can't imagine how you've learned it, or in what way you grasped the knowledge or how it happened, but it is something you will realize later on that you have learned something out of something (the experience). It feels like, it takes a year for me to realize all the changes happened back then, and now it came up to my mind that there where so many learning happened and i just can't specifically identify which of which situation I've learned it from. All the things are seems indirectly learned.

Davao to Hiroshima

It was 6.30 in the morning, when i got the first flight from Davao. It was cebu pacific.　The destination was Manila since their is no international flight direct　Davao to Japan. It was around 8.15 when i reached the terminal 3 of NAIA (Ninoy Aquino International Airport). Then from Manila　I took another flight heading Japan. Hiroshima City currently has no international flight direct from Manila, so I need to get a flight to a nearer city and it is Fukuoka. So the next flight was Manila - Fokuoka. The departure time was 10.15.. And around 3.20 (Japan Time) in the afternoon when I safely reached Fukuoka international airport. My very first OC (out of country). It was actually 4 hours of travel, not 5 since Japan time is about 1 hour ahead over the Philippine time. From there, we commute on a bus going to a train station. Then around 20 minutes of a train until we reached shinkansen train station. From there, we travel using the ideal train of japan, the bullet train heading to the city of Hiroshima. It was an hour of nonstop travel, so you can imagine how far is Fukuoka to Hiroshima. From the downtown of Hiroshima, we travel again by a round routing train to get to our proper place in Hiroshima, which is Nishi-ku.I reached the apartment where I will be spending most of the time in Japan very tired.
