A Day at The Japanese Embassy


Reason of going to the embassy:
To do an interview about public relations of the government and politics.
Unfortunately, we got a Media Filter Dude.

It was a cold morning (not really). I woke up kind of late, at around 6:10, I set the alarm the night before so that I could wake up at 5. But maybe it's because my brother played with my computer when I was sleeping, I didn't hear a sound coming from the computer. I was too lazy to investigate so I let it go. By 6:40 I was on my way.

I had to pick up my friends first. One was at his house and another at UiTM. We planned to move to KL before 7, but of course every plans have their problems. Today it was because of a stomachache. Anyway, after I picked up another friend of mine at the famed local university, we were on our way. Mind you I'm driving a MT Kancil, in a jam. My leg is still drained from pressing and releasing the clutch every 5 seconds or so. Wow. On the way, I was lost. Somewhere in Salak Selatan but I managed to find the route to KLCC (refer to map, less-detailed version) I reached there around 10. The appointment was at 10:30. Phew!

When I opened the door from inside the security post into the embassy, I was filled with awe, somehow. It was so... so... Japanese. I tell you you won't think like you're in M'sia anymore! (Tbh it was cleaner, WAAAY cleaner. The level of cleanliness made me think that way)

We met with Mr. Tojo Setsuo, the Media sth sth I wasn't really listening. Actually I couldn't really understand 50% of whatever he is talking about. His English is good, but his pronunciation still has that thick Japanese accent with it. But his Malay (pronunciation) is better haha. I even got this brochure about scholarships and stuff to Japan (wooo!)

Sorry no pictures. Phones were confiscated at the entrance of the embassy. I couldn't even keep track of the time.

The interview was finished at- *refer to paragraph above*

That sums up what happened at the Embassy. I don't wanna talk about the journey back. Enough of the being-lost part. *sigh*

Signing off.

Yours truly.

ahaha well when you speak English with them they're not all that 'Japanese'. They change abit according to our culture. But when they meet a fellow Japanese they become fully Jap with all the formality, bowing, head down and stuff.
