Hokkaido

Late, i know but i've been busy with probably my shittiest exam in my 21 years of life.but it's over now so blablabla....anyways, a little about my trip to osaka and hokkaido

the Japan Mint in osaka, one pretty neat place. i touched a real gold bar and saw how coins were minted.the 2 bodyguards
then it was off to a public transportation museum, lots of cool trains and simulators and some buses too.

optical illusion.
train conductor???
we went to japan steel in hokkaido, i must say it was one huge place! after an hour of boring talks, we headed to the factories!

short explanation
people at work

the produce long long rods here, the process is called continuous casting. pretty neat and the temperature here was prolly a 100 degrees or sth!

pollution???
