The 10th Kyushu trip in 2016
Traveling is always a “need” to refresh and relax myself after the stressful work and drive for my life balance. The first time I visited Kyushu was more than 2 decades with my granny, it was definitely an old village with some beautiful sceneries came to my mind. After traveling in Tokyo, Osaka, Hokkaido and Okinawa, Kyushu has ever been the most popular traveling choices for me in Japan annually since 2008. It is always a good place to travel with family, friends or alone with the cleanness, beauty of nature, traditional culture, convenience, safeness, friendliness of locals and tones of uncountable exceptional experiences when you explore each of the prefectural (県).

Seeking Love in Nagasaki!
Many people knows Nagasaki for a not very pleasant reason, but it's no fault of the city really. However, I have to confess how Nagasaki emerged like a reborn phoenix from a devastated city into a sparkling pearl in the post war era made me captivated!
Hopefully my short post on Nagasaki can share more prominence what this city currently brings. Let us begin from Nagasaki Station!

My travel journey throughout my 8 month…
This is my first trip during my internship in Japan. My friends and I went to Huis Ten Bosch after a hectic weeks working for the internship. It is an remarkable trip as we have full of joys during the trip. It take us approximately 3-5 hours to travel from Kumamoto to to Huis Ten Bosch . The night view in Huis Ten Bosch is truely amazing!! (as you can view in this picture haha). Huis Ten Bosch is a huge amusement park which consist of various indoor and outdoor games such as ghost town , flying fox , bungee jump , theater and many more. I highly recommend couples or friends to visit Huis Ten Bosch to relax and enjoy during the weekend.

Kyushu Life 3 Months pass! But my journ…
Do you know we can change our visions by going out from our house to somewhere and exploring the world? Some people may interest in huge cities that have crowd of people but that's not me. I'm more interest in somewhere that have stories and Kyushu is one of the best place that I can go around to learn more about their story, remember it in my memory and also write it down in my blog (http://www.kazekim.com).
My journey started from October when I've arrived here in exchange student program for half a year. Let's see what's going on my last 3 months. What's happened in my new world and what I learn from my experience?

Nagasaki: Port of Adventure
It was early August when I first arrived in Nagasaki. Although I'd lived in Japan before, I'd never set foot on the island of Kyushu. This left me both nervous and excited for the adventures that lay ahead. I had heard that Kyushu was famous for its hot springs and had a wealth of nature to offer those eager to explore its wilderness. Guide book in hand, I promised myself I would make the most of my time in Nagasaki.
