[YLP ICT: Part 7] Morning as a Traffic Officer, Evening as Water Specialists

Okinawa Prefectural Police: Traffic Control Centre

Observation made to Okinawa Prefectural Police is focusing on traffic system around Okinawa mainly in Naha City…
In this visit, we get an opportunity to experience a simulation on crossing a road…
The simulator normally being used in their awareness program and it shows that a simulation on crossing a road will be helpful in educating citizens on the road safety…
By using the simulator, they (the Police) can analyse the right way in crossing the road safely…
We’re given an opportunity to try on the simulator…
2 of our friends have a try on it. One is barely success to cross the road while another one is died on the spot…

Ishikawa Water Treatment Plan

Our final visit in Okinawa, the Ishikawa Water Treatment Plant…
During the briefing by the engineer, we’re surprised that there has been no water disruption in Okinawa since 1994…
While in water treatment we continue to be amazed on how it treat the water besides the fact we can directly drink the water directly from the tap…

Studying Train Lines in Tokyo

During our first briefing earlier with Yasumura-san, he did inform us on how to read the various train lines in Tokyo…
In fact he did draw a Yamanote line and really explained about it as he quite worry if we do get lost in the middle of Tokyo…
He did foresee our interest in taking pictures and that why he kept reminding us not to be careless about it…
By seeing this and the fact that we’re only in Tokyo for 5 days including travelling period, we decide to list and discuss which place to go…
The best part is the place where we do our discussion is along the corridor…
Earlier on the evening we already send our luggage to OIC since we need to be handy while we’re in Tokyo…
Hence Yasumura-san did warn up to take along a small bag with us once he saw how big our luggage that need to kept at the OIC…
Overall, few places have been shortlisted and we just pray and hope that all the places can be visited with a little amount of time…
