For our trip to Japan, I applied for and received my Japanese Amateur Radio License. MGY is the callsign of the Titanic. Kazuko was kind enough to help facilitate the only contact I had on the air with a Japanese Ham through her translation services. It was on 2 meters. Too bad I was in such a tizzy that I forgot to write down his call sign.
Some schools have statues.
These are usually of war heros. At Kibikoguen School they have some interesting rocks arranged in a very artistic manner. I do not know the significance of them, but they do fit the scene, as the school is located somewhat high in the mountains. Following our school visit, Kazuko took us the the Seto Ohashi bridge complex . These are a series of bridges between Honshu and Shikoku.
