느낀점	기차에서 정신줄 놓쳐서 내릴곳 놓치면 힘들어짐  traveling is awesome!

Hirosaki is my today's destination. So get up and packing all my stuffs and head to the Hakodate station to take the train. For the train I have to reserve a seat. So I go the the train office for a ticket and get a seat. It seems that everything goes smoothly. Get on the train. Now I am ready to go. I wanted to meet Azoomma last night but when I got back to the hostel he has gone. Anyway, I had more than enough wonderful experiences at Hokkaido before I leave. :))

Going down to southern =). The train goes so smoothly and I like that. Take out the macbook to write down my trip diary. It's been a hour or so. An old couple came next to me. They are checking their train tickets. I guess they are missing their spot. After a minute a train officer come. He looks grumpy. Wants me to show him my ticket, so show it to him. Tells me to pack my luggages and seat up. I don't know why I have to do that. As he doesn't speak English and I don't know how to speak Japanese. I just do as he says. Packing up all my stuff and seat up. Leave the spot. Follow him. And go to another seat position. He points out the seat I guess he is telling me that I can seat there. So I seat there. And just in case I check the ticket again. Now I get it. It was my fault. I supposed to get off the train in 30 minutes ago. And I was thinking it would take a bit more then a hour to get to the transaction but, in fact, I was wrong. As the train was too good so I didn't notice about it. Anyway. I seat there and he is trying to figure out how to let me go to my truth destination. After a while he figures it out. Start to say the time and the train station. I pick my pocket paper with a pen up. And as he mentions them I write down them. And show him if I write them down correctly or not. Waiting for the next stop. finally, we arrive the station. He tells me that I should go down and have to be opposite of the train platform with big gesture. At the time that I realise that he is trying to help me out so hard. So, I suggest him for taking a selfie together. He doesn't deny that. So, I take a selfie with him. Say good bye to him and go to the platform to take the train. I get into the train safely. After a while, arrive to the Hirosaki station. And pass the tick form. Go into the information centre. hm.. I feel like missing something. Oh! my other backpack!!! I left it on the train!! I just run to the train station office. Looking for help that I left my luggage on the train. He asks me what train it was, and what time, what colour the luggage is. Luckily I haven't threw it away, so I show him the ticket. Now he is calling somewhere. After a few minutes, he come to me with a paper. He says I should fill the paper out. Write down my address in Korea, name, phone number in English except the phone number. During the time he calls somewhere again, comes back to me and tells me that they get the luggage. But he says that I should go there to pick up my luggage. I ask him which station I should go. The Akira station. I search the train station. ah!? it is way far from where I am now. It proximally takes me two and half hours to get there. hm.. I am thinking now if I should go now, or tonight.. Maybe tomorrow!? I check the time. It's 12:39 pm. I got some time, then I better have a look Hirosaki first. And find out if there is any cheap place that I can sleep for a night. When I visited the information centre I found out that there is 100 yen bus. But I don't know if there is any cheap place that I can stay for tonight. Visit the information centre again. They tell me that there are one place it is called as capsule hotel?. Check the pamphlet out. It seems okay. I can take the 100 yen bus to get there in a minute. Go outside of the train station. Take some pictures. In a minute, the bus comes. Take the bus to get to the place. The village seems clean and well organised. Get into the building. There is an elevator. Take it to go up. As the elevator door is opening I can see the view of the place. It looks like typical spa place in Korea. Take of my shoes. There is a reception guy. Talk to him about the price. He says it's 3,300 yen(I don't remember the price exactly now ;;) It is kind of okay price but my instinct tells me that I should leave. So I leave the place. After go out the building. I meet a girl, she is well dressed. Ask her, if she knows any cheap places to stay around here. She tells me that there are two place that I can check them out. One of them is called business hotel, and the other one is somewhere else. I thank her and walk ahead to the business hotel first. But they says the price is over 8,000 yen. hm.. It is too much for me. So I walk a bit to the second place. It should be around here but I cannot see any. I see the Hirosaki castle place. Hm.. Not now. I check the map again and try to reach the place. There is one it looks a traditional hostel. The name is Ishiba Ryokan. Takes some pictures before check it out. Get into the Inn. Call the receptionist. A minute later, one lady comes to me. Ask her if there is any rooms for a night. She says yes, so I ask her the price. it's about 4,500 yen for a night. She is about to show me the room, so I tell her I want to check it out first. She says it is totally okay. So I follow her. Inside of the Inn is really Japanese style. Now we are in my future room. maybe.. As I enter the room? there is a place that I can take of my shoes, so I take them off. Follow her to enter the room. Room is cool as inside of the Hakodate's government office. It has A/C too! wow.. I take some pictures. But strangely there is no bed at all. I tell her that thanks for showing me this but I don't see the bed. She tells me that she will make a bed for me. Oh.. I see. I look out the window. the back yard garden is there. Maple leaves are pretty much red, yellow, etc. So beautiful. I thank her. And we get out the room. Now she goes to a bigger room. Impressive.. I didn't ask her to show me that but, anyway, the bigger room is even better. Take some more pictures. But still it is kind of expensive for me. So I tell her I might come back later and thank her again for showing me the awesome house. Now I decided to go to the Akita station. Go back to the train station, checking the train time and waiting for the train. After a while, I hear the announcement for the Akita, taking my small backpack, camera and go. 

Long time later, I arrive the Akita station. It's almost midnight. Ask the train officer, if there is any place to sleep for tonight. he mentions that there is an internet cafe. Thank him, and head to the cafe. 

The entrance of the cafe, there are lots of big advertisements about games and anime. Enter the cafe. One guy comes to me. Check the price, 1,500 + 100 for 8 hours!? cool. I take one spot. 100 yen is for first person who registers a card to use the place. Kind of hungry now so order some food. There is free beveridge as well. Cool. The spot that I take isn't that bad for a night. The chair is changeable to a kind of sleeping bed. So after the late night's meal, do some web searching and Go to sleep.  ..z.z...z.z.ZZ
