June 8th: CupNoodles Museum and Hana Biyori Botanical Garden

After gathering at the hotel lobby, the ERAU group made our way to the one and only CupNoodles Museum in Yokohama. When we got there, we had some time to look around, but at 11:30 we lined up with our groups (my group was Naomi, Joseph, V, Cat, Abi, and me) to join a ramen making class. This class was more of a hands-on experience as we were able to mix the ingredients with a partner and then feed our dough through a strainer. Then our instructor guided us to separate our noodles into even 100-gram portions, which we got to see get deep fried. Once it was done boiling, we were able to package our ramen and take more home. After this first class, there was another session where you were able to make your own flavor; however, I didn’t attend it.

May 13th: First day at OMU

May 13 th , with the first day down at Osaka Metropolitan University lets recap what we did from my perspective. The day started at 8:50 am leaving our lodging (the Fraser Residence Inn Nankai) and traveled on the Namba metro system officially for the first time (as a group.) I found navigating the metro stations interesting as you only need to scan a card or insert a ticket and get to your platform while dodging the sea of people heading in the opposite direction; in America people don’t really use the same type of train systems as they do in Japan besides big cities like New York. As we reached OMU and entered our new reality, the group got ushered into a classroom and started our introduction with the professors and students. After the OMU faculty got to know us, we left to another classroom to begin our first lecture SS314. This first lecture we were introduced to our month long project the Kikocho. After the class we got to eat lunch at the university. Later in the d...
