Everybody knows that Japan had a terrible earthquake on year 2011. I did experienced earthquake a couple of times after I came to Japan. For the study aboard students who never stay in Japan before, or haven experience earthquake and fire incident, my school is having an activities bringing us to the life safety learning centre to learn how to protect ourselves, how to escape from incident, how to help others, and learn about the important things to do when incident happened.
Along the way to the Life Safety Learning Centre at Ikebukuro 池袋, our teacher is introducing the surrounding to the students. The guys with white hair is our teacher, don’t he looks like people appeared in Anime.
This is the entrance of the Life Safety Learning Centre. In this centre you can find:
- Daily Life Safety Section
- Event Space
- Audio-visual Room
- First Aid Training
- Earthquake Simulation
- Local Disaster Prevention Corner
- Map Exercise Section
- Rescue and Escape Section
- Smoke Filled Maze
- How to Report an Emergency
- Fire Fighting Training
As our time is limited, we din’t get to participate in all of the section. We just able to participate in those which are the most important part.
All the pretties from my class.
Fire fighting training
When there is a fire which able to be put out, first, you have to shout it loud to notice others or to ask for help then follow the steps to use the fire extinguisher to put out a fire.
After the Fire Fighting Training, we come to this Earthquake Simulation. That kind of machine actually shake like earthquake multitude 6 or 7 for us to experience the earthquake. Amazing. Yeah, the machine.
After the training I went out with few of my classmates. We went for lunch then the games center at Ikebukuro 池袋.
This shop called Yoshinoya which is something like Matsuya. But Matsuya is much more delicious. The beef with rice called Gyudon 牛丼 is only cost me 300yen.
300yen for each games. Some may be different depend on what kind of games.
This game center have 6 or 7 floors, can’t remember. The highest 2 floors are Purikura (Machine that allow girls to take Selfie). They even have a small make up section and also the costume rent area. We try one of the machine which cost 400yen.
After the game section we walk around at this shopping mall called Sunshine City just opposite the Game Center. There is a shop called どんぐり共和国/ MOE Garden selling all stuff of Ghibli cartoon characters goods. Besides of this shop you can find Disney Store and Sanrio Vivitix.
