Croquette and Japanese Doctor
Mrupupup took along a Japanese croquette, an umbrella and a hot flask of green tea to visit a famous Shinto temple in Sendai, Japan. Japanese croquette was delicately placed in orange container. You know how Japanese croquette are like, they are just so nice to eat with their bread crumbed and soft potato taste. Well, this Japanes croquette had a salmon filling in it too.
Mrupupup took the train line from his hotel in Sendai. Mrupupup looked in amazement the multi coloured lines of the trains on the board. Luckily, Mrupupup's mate got a way to 'decipher' the correct train line to take to this Shinto temple.
Mrupupup took the efficient red train line to the correct stop and alighted. As the train came to a stop, the ever lovely pre-recorded music played and train captain made announcements and wished every passenger a good day. How Mrupupup wished Singapore's trains could be so pleasant? The music la-di-da-li-da-di played was beautiful and often rang in Mrupupup's head.
Mrupupup alighted the train and took a bus to the Shinto temple. Along the way, Mrupupup encountered a group of young Japanese school kids and they were so playful. The 'kawai' (pretty) students played to the camera as Mrupupup took some pictures. The kids were happy in this small Sendai town. As the bus came, Mrupupup boarded the bus, waved goodbye to the kids and the friendly captain gave us a bus ticket.
Mrupupup reached the Shinto temple. The Japanese temple was very beautiful and the compound was very large. The temple was filled with thousand years of history of ancient days where Shogun warriors were active. The temples were ever so delicately designed with gold leaf wooden walls and intricately designed gardens. People were there to pray to the gods for health, wealth and peace. Mrupupup throwed in some coins into the metal container and wished for safety, peace, good health and wealth. Mrupupup ended the wish with a clap just like what a Japanese would do.
Mrupupup wandered around the Japanese Shinto temple compounds and did not know the place became dark quickly. Guessed day light savings came into effect. At 5pm, the whole place became dark and temple lights were turned on which gave a solemn feel to the environment. Mrupupup left the huge temple grounds. As Mrupupup left the place, it rained! The rain poured heavily at the bus stop.
Mrupupup waited for the bus in the heavy rain but it did not come. Cars zoomed past and there was no bus. There was a Japanese who was also waiting for the bus to the train station. The Japanese also visited the temple. The Japanese with kind features waved for a taxi and gestured to us to have a ride. Mrupupup and his mate quickly took the taxi ride with the Japanese. Guessed Mrupupup was prettyy anxious and could not wait to get out of a totally new environment. Thank goodness for this kind stranger. He gave us a taxi ride and when the taxi stopped at the train he refused to take our payment. So generous!
Mrupupup alighted with the Japanese man and realised he was a doctor. He was from Osaka. Mrupupup was really impressed with this Japanese doctor. He could speak some English as we waited for the train. He explained he has been to Singapore and loved Singapore's food.
As the Japanese doctor spoke, Mrupupup took out the Japanese croquette and offered to share with the doctor. But he declined. Mrupupup enjoyed the croquette in the train and listened to the doctor. The croquette was soft and nice. Slowly savoured the croquette until Mrupupup reached the main train station of Sendai. Mrupupup said s'ayonara' to the Japanese doctor and thanked him. Sayonara also to Mrupupup blog's readers and wished for the gods to grant you peace, safety, wealth and health.
