Nishinomiya, Hyogo, Japan

I have been going to Nishinomiya City by train which takes a minute from the nearest station where I live. I have tried walking down before and took me 40 minutes. It was a long walk beside the river but I didn't mind because it was a good exercise after all. The best way to go there is to ride a bicycle which I did yesterday. I went through the main highway where the road is going downhill therefore easy to drive a bike. On my way, I found various shops around the area. A cute little town as well. Shops, restaurants, supermarket just close to JR{Japan Railways}station I quite got lost but I easily found what I was looking for which is not so far from the Hanshin railway station. The Nishinomiya Government Offices.
 
I had to claim my Alien Registration Card which is needed to get a re-entry visa, a health card and bank account. It took me only a minute to wait after handing my paper to the foreign registration personnel. Very efficient. Not a lot of job for those people who are assigned on this department , I suppose. hehehe.I'm sure there's not a lot of foreigners comes to them everyday. I noticed an Spanish guy waiting for his registration to get done. He has to wait for a month to get his card just like I did.



Now, my bike journey to the Gourmet City-a shopping center in Shukugawa. A few minutes walk from the Shukugawa station. This is where the MCdo is lol! I had to drive my bike in front of the shopping center. I really had nothing to get but it is impossible not to get something when you are walking around the shop. I went to a 100 yen shop. The shop was good. They almost have everything. I took some girly items. I thought it's prices could be higher than another but when I looked at the receipt, all of them cost 105 yen. LOL. So from now on, I'll call it 105 yen shop.


After 2 hours in the shopping mall, I decided to go home but not without a take out from MCdo. I just realized that I was tired when I went into MCdo. I smelt the coffee aroma and suddenly I felt like taking a rest but I didn't. So I went after I got my "take out". Biking through the Shukugawa river.. It was bloody hard pushing my bike uphill and I came back home weary.
