Hi there! So right now I'm back to continue another story for my second week of my stay in Japan. It was definitely a nice week actually. I got so many things to do during my second week. Plus the two skills lab. I did enjoy the pediatric skills lab by the way. To be honest, the equipment and technology are so advance. I wish I had those in Indonesia. I know it will cost so much.
During the skills lab, the sensei tried to explain the lecture in English which was pretty nice. It was about neonatal resuscitation. So yeah, it went well and we got to do intubation to the baby. It was at first, but then I managed to find the larynx and inserted the tube to help the baby's breathing. Of course it wasn't practiced in a real one, we used the mannequin. I enjoyed it so much. Then two groups were selected and we were given two different cases to do the resuscitation.
The usual schedule went as a week ago. On Monday, there was a new exchange student coming from Ireland. She was originally from Hong Kong, but moved to Ireland since she was 9 years old (if I'm not mistaken). Her name was Jo Jo. She's really friendly and talkative. I went to the supermarket with her after finishing my schedule. Then after the skills lab on Tuesday, I went to a welcome party held by hand surgery group. So yeah, we went to Izakaya. So this place is so common in Japan. It's a drinking place but we can also eat there. Perhaps, it's more like cafe because mostly the Japanese like to hang out in this kind of place.
The thing is, my sensei ordered me alcohol like every time. The first one, he ordered me plum cocktail. It was nice actually but I don't drink. Honestly! I hate drinking. But I just wanted to be polite. They were all so kind. I thought when I finished my drink then he would stop ordering. Hell no, he even ordered me a whiskey. It's not purely whiskey though but still contained of alcohol. So, the whiskey were mixed with apple juice so it won't taste that bitter. Crap! After trying sip by sip, I started to feel warm inside. I got light-headed. I'm not sure I was drunk or not but I didn't do stupid things and I remember all the things of the night lol.
Then I excused my self to go to another welcome party held by the Japanese med student. I called my mum along the walk there. I was afraid I didn't think properly. So, I thought it would be better to call my mum and confessed. After all, I didn't mean to drink. Oh God! Then yeah, I actually had a schedule of Doctor Heli, but the weather was bad and it was cancelled. Too bad.
The next skills lab was about Emergency and I expected too much. It was really bad to be honest. The sensei couldn't speak English. He only said everything in Japanese. So, hell yeah I didn't have any clue. The thing is the case was only one and it was only about anaphylaxis. We didn't got to participate. We only observed what the Japanese student were doing and yeah I guess I could do better. I didn't mean to be cocky, but yeah it was bad. For me, there wasn't any team work among them and yeah it's like meeeehhhh. Couldn't explain it. You should have seen it by yourself!
So it was the last week of my Germany friends. I went to farewell dinner with Julian, Philipp and Yilie to a dining place downtown. We ordered four kinds of dishes and drinks. It was a great night, really. I miss them so much. They are funny guys! They said they planned to have another elective study next year and it was gonna be Indonesia. I was glad to hear that.
So, we said our goodbyes before sleeping since Yilie and I were going to travel to Kyoto the next day. Wouldn't be able to meet them in the morning. An yeah, it was the end of our week. I will write the short journey I had in Kyoto and Osaka on my next post. Stay tuned! Wait for the update of the post for the photos. See you xx
