signed up for a walking tour tt our hostel provides on day 2. our tour guide was a young japanese man who is studying uni in america and was back for a hol. he brought us to a nearby market to walk walk then to a shrine. before reaching e shrine, there was a long long flight of stairs. almost died after we raced to e top haha. e shrine was quite unlike wad we had seen cos it was more quiet and nt crowded at all. and inside, there was a mini zoo la haa. housing several animals and birds, including peacocks.

after dejima, we went to a mall nearby and i saw a briefcase i really liked! and it was pretty affordable at 6000 yen like tt. but didnt buy in e end cos we all thot tokyo will hav ha. as tokyo was our last stop before gg back sg, we all pushed our shopping till then. bad move. i couldnt find it anymore in tokyo and had to settle for my 2nd love haha. anyway at e mall, we all shared a big bowl of nice noodles which was a popular dish in nagasaki. tasted like soupy hokkien mee haa. yummy. and also shared a plate of takoyaki.

e view up there was nt bad. but perhaps cos nagasaki itself wasnt a very bustling city, e view wasnt too fantastic also la. anyway, we took a 世界那么大 video too, after seeing e one taken by ryan they all in vietnam haha. we spent some time admiring e scenary up there and ms wee was shivering with cold ha. ya sometimes it gt abit too windy and chilly for us. later in e night, loads of students came pouring in. haha. seemed like some sch excursion. nt bad lo like very fun. and tt marked e end of our nagasaki trip.
