Collectivism and individulism are two controversial concepts. Being a good team player is to let collective decisions win. Is it true?
The decision for this trip was made based on strong desire of two people while the rest have just been neutral. Thought, this was one of the best alternatives.
Since the schedule of trip conflicted with Christmas and upcoming New Year celebration, almost all resorts were closed. Then where I visited, seemed like many if counted.
1) Light-up pictures were exhibited on the Nagoya Eiki building. It was just where the bus stop from KOBE to Nagoya located. It was thought joyful to see all of these but meanwhile my feeling was flying to Cambodia for my lovely princess. Seeing all of these cute decoration made me homesick...wishing to have my family here too...I really missed you lovely princess.
2) Yellow towel (not a golden towel, I guessed) locates nearby the place called Oasis where we all spent our first night visit. It was also closed to Grace Inn Hotel where we stayed.
3) Toyota shi literally means Toyota factory. We arrived there just at the right time aiming to observe Toyato production line but it was also on New Year vacation. What can we do? A compensation to a failure of the attempt of visiting Toyota shi, Expo-park was proposed.
4) The beautiful natural view is the expo-park. Thought, there are many entertainment games to play if it was not under renovation. Lavendor already died during the winter...I couldnt smell you and I couldnt capture your beauty. It was unfortunate again, isnt it?
5) Osu is similar to shopping street. The attracting factor of visiting there was pearl shopping. The place was famous to Cambodian student in Nagoya for brand new and second-hand pearl jewellery. Camera was not allowed in the shop, thus, no photo sharing here. Oh, we were enjoying tasting Brazilian roast chicken there, thought.
6) Nagoya Daigaku was the assemble point.
Nagoya was known as the third largest city in Japan in term of its population after Tokyo and Osaka. However, the place was not so attractive to tourists or at least most of Cambodian and international students. Althought, there were not many interesting places there, our trip was an enjoyable gathering with many Cambodia fellows in Nagoya. Withouth their kind sharing their busy time guiding us around, we would not have been moving in many places both in Nagaya ken and Ai-ken. Appreciated them for warm welcome and guiding around.
