The trip to Okunoshima~*

This is late, but late is better than never right?

I am taking some time off from my studying and work and do up this guide to clear up my mind for better studying later. *A tip from my programming lecturer. :D

Alrighty, for all those who do not know where is Okunoshima, it is actually an island somewhere off Hiroshima. The description as quoted from wikipedia "Ōkunoshima is a small island located in the Inland Sea of Japan in the city of Takehara, Hiroshima Prefecture. It is accessible by ferry from Tadanoumi and Ōmishima"

The map of Okunoshima

Why visit Okunoshima? This island has a long history from back in WWII times, acting as a secret base for the Japanese Army at that time to produce chemical weapons, namely mustard gas and tear gas. 

A short description on the gas storage bunker on Okunoshima

It has been abandoned since the end of WWII and is now a paradise to thousands of rabbits living on the island. It is a MUST-VISIT place for rabbit lovers!

You smellll..... like... foooood!

So how do you go to Okunoshima? First you are require to take a Shinkansen to Mihara Station and then catch the Kure Line to Tadanoumi Station!

Tadanoumi Station

A vicinity map

After you exit the train station, you will have to turn right and walk along the main road outside the train station.

A 5 minute walk at most to reach the railway track

After a quick walk you will see the sign that point to the Ferry Terminal!

Cross the railway track and you will reach the port!

At the Tadanoumi port, you will be able to purchase your tickets to board the ferry. The ferry ride is about 15~20 minutes depending on the weather conditions. So unless you intend to stay overnight on the island resort, it is best that you take note of the train timing and ferry timing as they are not exactly in sync. Missing a train could meant that you will have to wait for 45 minutes to 1 hour for the next available train.

Ferry Ticket!

THE ferry!

Ok thats all folks! next post will be the photos of all the rabbits after I have filtered through.. :D

Till then!

Back from Holiday~

Anddddddd i am yearning for the next 1 already~ AHHH~

First Post from overseas~

In Kyoto Japan now after 18 hours of travelling.... Am glad that everything is smooth and on schedule so far.

Kinda tired, gonna be lazy and grab food from the nearest convenience store instead of travelling to town. :D

Japan.. ROUND 2! FIGHT!

Heading out now, will be going to Japan to catch the sakura season!

Wheeee~

Stressssed~~~~

Work+studies+Army Commitments=brain dead.

How I wish work can be a little smooth, studies a little easier and army commitments a little lesser~

Wedding Bands~ Puppy style~

There you go, the rose gold ring that we have chosen... the same ring for both of us. :D

"I love you" scripted on the outside and "Amor Sempiternus" on the  inside.

We also have the master hand engraver, Timothy Murphy to help us engrave the inside of the ring.

2nd shot. :D

Alrights~ thats all folks~

Wedding Preparation~

Hmmm... even puppies also need to grow up and form their own pack eh.

Many things to prepare and now i have taken over the reins of the wedding banquet preparation.... Which is a big headache, since the budgets and the dream wedding venue does not seems to match. Also, the initial thought of keeping it simple simply vanish as the days past during the planning stage.

Not to mention, we also have problems with the wedding guest if we hold too small a wedding to accommodate our budget.

It is definitely not an easy wedding to plan as i have thought......

The good thing for me is that we have most of the miscellaneous stuff out of the way for the wedding planning. The gowns/suits have been chosen, the wedding phototaking venue has been chosen (It will be in kyoto) and the rings have been chosen.

Will post the pictures of the ring if I can find it. :)
