Japanese September 24-26, 2003: Kyushu block meeting |
|
We had a torrential rain in the morning in Oita. I was sent to the bus terminal by my husband with car. I took an express bus to Kumamoto. | |
When the bus entered Aso volcanic crater, the weather was becoming clear and finally fine sky in Kumamoto city. A monument of Kiyomasa Kato's armor helmet is set on Daikou bridge. |
|
I got off the bus at Kumamoto bus center and arrived the meeting site in a hotel nearby. The massive stone wall of Kumamoto castle reminds me of the great building work of the old workers. | |
My hotel faces the canal of Kumamoto castle. | |
I soon checked the site to be used as the block meeting from tomorrow. | |
In the evening, some members from Kumamoto branch joined me and started to prepare the site. | |
September 25: The first day I got up before six in the morning. The weather looks like fine today as well. |
|
The main theme is hang down at the hall. | |
The receptionists are ready with a beautiful flower vase on the table. | |
In the lobby is an exhibition demonstrating the proper amount of meal per day for housewife. | |
