STILL ON ORIENTATION: Day 3

Were were supposed to go to Mount ASO today BUT due to really bad weather, we had to change plans and head to 'Daikambo Observation Point' instead. Look at the wonder view!! (This was the view when the weather was BAD... just imagine what it would look like if it was on a good day!!! wahaha... )

After spending come time at 'Daikambo' we continued to our next destination - KUMAMOTO CASTLE!!... Actually hor... i've been there before already, last year with my family! haha... so it was a little weird that i'm going back there. BUT anyway, this was the last destination for the orientation and even though i have been there before, the experience this time was really different coz i was with friends!

And we reach the TOP of the castle!!! check out the view from here!! the last time i came with my parents, they were doing some renovations to the top floor so we didn't manage to get up here, so it was 'technically' my first time up there! =) THE VIEW WAS REALLY NICE... wanted to just hang out there and look down for a while.
