After a week in the class, that day we become a special task force team, yes, by any means we have some task that need to be done, and we done it as a team. Our Class 11-C003 class is combined with class 11-C004, and separated into 5 team, I was in Group 5, consist of 5 men (3 Vietnamese, 2 Indonesian), the largest team of all teams.

Basically our task is to go to some place, and there's something that we have to be done there. To go there we required to ask the Japanese people where's the place and how to get there. This is the basic task that have to be done :
  1. Ask the Japanese people how to get there (the road name, transportation, etc.)
  2. Have a lunch in Japanese restaurant, and request the receipt.
  3. Ask the Japanese to get our picture using our camera.
  4. Have a call to CKC on 14.00 - 15.00 to inform whether our task has done or not, and also our position.
Besides this basic task, each team has special task. My group have to go to Nagoya Highway Bus Center, and ask the price of bus ticket from Nagoya to Tokyo and from Nagoya to Osaka. The briefing of this task has been done on Wednesday, which explained what we have done, and also an explanation of "Donnichi eco kippu" it was a 600 Yen ticket that can be used only on Saturday or Sunday, by using this ticket we can get in and off in every station of Nagoya Subway line, and every bus service in Nagoya, along the day (it was very cheap in my opinion, rather than if we buy regular ticket, especially if we planned to go to many station or using many bus service).

Our activity began on 10.00 int the CKC lobby, in that time we got our telephone card to call to CKC, and also money for the journey, we got 2180 Yen, which consist 600 Yen for Donnichi Eco Kippu, 780 Yen for ticket from Josui to Akaike in return (Nagoya subway line starts from Akaike station, so we have to buy ticket from Josui to Akaike and return, before we can use the Donnichi Eco Kippu), and 800 Yen for lunch.


After the short briefing, we go to Josui Station, it was a shinny day, and a little bit hot. After a 15 minutes walk, we got to Josui Station, and buy 390 Yen ticket which is fare from Josui to Akaike. to get to Nagoya be have to change train. From Josui station we're taking Takashiyama Line (Blue Color in Subway map), until the Fushimi station we had to get off and change to Higashiyama Line (Yellow color in Subway map) and heading to Nagoya Station, after 40 minutes we arrive in Nagoya Station. The Nagoya Highway Bus Center itself located next to Nagoya station, exactly next to Nagoya Shinkanshen (Bullet train) station.
After we get down on Nagoya we're a little bit confused where we have to go, because Nagoya station is a very big station, and then we ask to Japanese "Haiway basu senta e ikitai'n desu ga, doko ni arimasuka.", in English "we want to go to Highway Bus Center, where is the location ?".
And finaly we found it.

In this bus center we were asking for ticket price of bus service from Nagoya to Tokyo and from Nagoya to Osaka. The price is about 5100 Yen for Nagoya-Tokyo and 2500 Yen for Nagoya-Osaka. After we're asking the proce, we have to asked to Japanese people to got our picture using our camera. And finally we find him, basically Japanese people is avoiding strangers, but we got him, and this is my team.













After the task in Bus Station is finished, we walk to get some lunch. We look around the Nagoya station of traditional Japanese food restaurant, after a walk and after a look in BicCamera shop, we found small Ramen (Japanese Noodle) restaurant around Nagoya station. When we look for lunch we met with the other team which also have task around Nagoya station, and we had lunch together in the Ramen Restaurant. Me and 4 others order Shyou Ramen, and the rest order Miso Ramen, it was cost 650 Yen for Shyou Ramen, and 550 Yen for Miso Ramen, it has included orange and strawberry for desserts.









It was a great and delicious lunch. After we had lunch we go back to Osu Kannon before we back to CKC, my friend want to buy Notebook. And we back to CKC, on 17.45 we arrived on CKC.

It was a great journey, but it's not end yet, we have to make report of this TaskForce, and need to be presented on Tuesday, June 7th 2011. Another task. Teams, rally on!
