BBQ Party at Lake Biwa

5 September 2009 :: BBQ Party at Lake Biwa

Yesterday I appointed with Matsui-san. She is my friend who works at Sanyo Chemical Industries, Ltd., Kyoto. It's a Bar B Q Party of ESS Club. It's the club I joined when I had internship in Kyoto.

At first, I went there with Nwe coz she wanna go to Kobe with her sister. We rode a bycicle to RinkuTown Station. We bought JR ticket to Osaka Station abt 970 Yen. However, after reaching Tennoji Station, I found that it's too late, so I went out of the train and changed to Subway Midosuji Line to Osaka Station. When I arrived Osaka Station, I called Matsui-san. She said she would wait for me at Kyoto Station. Then, I took a JR Rapid train from Osaka Station to Kyoto Station. Eventhough, I have been to Kyoto Station many times in the past but I forgot it already. Finally, I reached Kyoto Station. I spent about 3 hours from RinkuTown till Kyoto Station. I called her 2 times. And I could find her. She looks the same as last three years. I was so sorry coz I went there late. And she waited for me about one hour.

Cute train in Kyoto

We went together to Lake Biwa (びわこ). Lake Biwa is the Japan largest natural lake. It's near Omi-Maiko station B'coz it's very large, at first, I thought it's sea. It seems like everyone also waiting for us. We started BBQ with pork and chicken. Matsui-san prepared Thai food for me also. It's Thai curry chicken. After that, it's seafood.. shrimp and salmon WoW. There were about 19 ppl joined this party. They're from both ESS Club and Electronic Chemical Material department. I met Reko-san and Kondo-san there, too. We talked a lot. I've many new friends.

I know from Matsui-san later that ESS Club had the BBQ Party there once a year at the end of summer. In the evening, Matsui-san, Reko-san, and Nimo-san helped me buying and opening new number of mobilephone. I bought 830P.. Finally, I got Japan mobile phone. Thanks to everyone coz I think it's quite difficult to buy. SoftBank seller can't speak English and the promotion is also complicated.

My Mobile Phone

I went back to RinkuTown Station. This time I took JR Kansai Airport so I didn't have to change any trains till RinkuTown.

Thank you so much everyone from Sanyo Chemical ^_^
