Go west 3

7a.m.

Outside is getting brighter and more visible. I noticed that we are right now crossing the Great Seto Bridge right this moment.


What an amazing architecture. Now it takes only 15minutes to cross over the Seto Inland See.
I also remember the good old time I had to cross the see by ferry everytime I go to Shikoku Island. The ferry used to be National owned. There was a traditional Udon noodle bar on the ship I looked forward to, while one hour sailing on the beautifull sea with the view of lots of small islands to see.

Sunrise Express does not go to Kochi. We arrived at Sakaide and changed trains there. At Sakaide station, when a train approach the station, there was a music on the platform to warn passanger. The music was good old "Seto no hanayome (bride of Seto)". Nice welcomed feeling. Now I do feel that I am back in Shikoku.

On the way to Oosugi, my first destination, the train passes a great senery called "Ooboke valley". I can not imagine how human could build a train track on the valley like this...


"the next station is OOSUGI"

This is it! Let's get off the train. I wanna show you something...

Thanks Charu. I also set script to give a nicer message for the first person who comments for each diary. I hope your son gets well soon. Try hot ginger drink before sleep like I always do without pills when I have cold.

What did you think about the old Japanese music, Kishore?

Music!! it reminds me something...are you playing the Indian Flute?

Hidekis said...

You're not answering my question. Why don't you click on the link again on "Bride of Seto" above? By the way Kisore, that Indian flute is quite difficult to form a music. Yes, I do still make some sounds from it sometimes.

Hideki ...I wanted to avoid the question...actually ...I found the link..the girl is pretty..but the proxy server at our end is blocking the music..I will try it at some other place.

Oh, no! Proxi... What a shame. Well, there are more to come! In a few episode, I will introduce a very nice person in the Japanese history. Stay tuned.
