Day 2 in Singapore!

We all woke up bright and early, eager to face the upcoming day.

We started the activities by bringing the students to the engine simulator located in the Singapore Maritime Academy building. They were in awe of how we used technology to overcome our limitations in our pursuit of knowledge.

Mr. Nuang was there to explain to the Oshima students about how the simulator worked!

 After a tour of the engine room, we made our way to the meeting room to meet the Director of the Singapore Maritime Academy, Mr. Roland Tan, who was to have a short talk with the students.

After sharing a few anecdotes of his time in Japan, the Director presented Dr. Yoriko Ishida with a small gift from the Singapore Maritime Academy!

After the talk, we made our way to Sentosa. The Oshima students were amazed that our Circle Line trains were driverless and that you could see the tunnels ahead!

We walked to Sentosa using the boardwalk and took many group photos taking advantage of the good view! The sun was shining brightly with no dark cloud in sight. It was going to be a great time at the Universal Studios Singapore.

We didn't miss the opportunity to take a picture in front of the spinning globe either! We were all ready to go and enjoy ourselves in the amusement park. Sadly, we were all disappointed with the news that Cylon and Human, the twin roller-coasters, were still closed..... Regardless, we had the time of our lives on the mummy ride and the water show!

The Oshima students always became very excited whenever they saw a powerful car, so much that they couldn't wait to get onto the Transformers ride! 

After a fun-filled day at the Universal Studios Singapore, we went to Mr. Nuang's place for a poolside BBQ!

The food was great and the company was fantastic. The Oshima students really loved satay! Ryusei also entertained us with his b-boy skills that were すんごい～

Sadly, it was getting late and we had to end the festivities. We all really enjoyed the BBQ! With out stomachs full and appetites satiated, we made our way back to the dorms, ready for a good night's sleep.

Till the next day!

さよなら～
