Well, another update has finally arrived, which should make all of you happy, especially since I'm being spammed for updates. Ah well, I hope this is long enough to last...


Anyway, the day started off as normal, except that at that morning, JL712 left Singapore with my school band in it. Sadly I could not join them... Anyway, that day was also our city tour of Hamamatsu, which would prove to be an interesting one.


At school, we met up at the usual meeting room, then headed for the bus, which was already waiting for us. Most people were happy to meet up with the people from the other group, as we had much to discuss. Our first destination was the Yamaha factory/museum, which was interesting to me because of the saxophones and other such instruments in there. We also had fun in the factory "rong-gaeing" past Isaac Lee, although I doubt if he liked it too much. Also picked up some basic trumpet and trombone skills at the museum.

Following that, we went to the mayor's office, which was slightly boring, although we got free harmonicas, as well as a feature in the local papers the next day. Lunch was at the Hotel Concord, where we performed a while back. Brought back memories... The buffet was good.

The photonics center was next, which was rather interesting, but there weren't enough exhibits. Still, it was a research lab, not a science museum, so what to do?

Our final destination was the Honda factory, where we confirmed that motorcycles do sound like their brand names. Nothing much their either. Hamamatsu isn't a very interesting city, with the exception of the Yamaha museum and the air base. Not much happened after that, and I arrived home at around 5.30. Rest of the day was boring.

That's all for today, stay tuned for the next instalment!
