My trip to Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk

This week I had the honour to represent my humble self at the Japanese language speech contest. So I had to go to Sakhalin for some three days!
My first thought after our plane landed - I wish our buses were as quick as the plane which tries to overcome its inertia after it lands...
Well the hostel was great. There were heating device, teapot and cups and dishes and hot water and whatever you may need. No WiFi, of course ^.^ oh, and there was no light in the shower room during the first evening, but that was endurable.
As for the rest, everything was quite nice. The people were all kind, and the weather was good, and I got the second place. And lived happily ever after.
