Gambar
The desire to write my trip to the 3 famous cities in India has been longing in my head for quite some time. Though when finally I started to write my Indian golden triangle, it was 2 years after I left India. Back then in 2019 during the summer-time, I got a chance to stay in India for 3 months for a research fellowship. I stayed for 3 months in Hyderabad city, the capital city of Telangana estate (my life experience in Hyderabad will be posted separately). Right before my fellowship ended, and after my research duty was complete, I got some free time to enjoy some beautiful places in India. I decided to use my short-free time to visit the Indian Capital city, New Delhi and the followed my visit to the nearby cities including Agra and Jaipur. I took 2h flight from Hyderabad to New Delhi.

As a student or someone who temporary visiting one place, the second hand store could be another option for you to find something (like electronic devices such as iron, hair dryer, winter coat?) that you need in the reasonable price. The good thing in Japan is, the secondhand stuffs are well maintained and still looks good. The price could be very much more cheaper than the new one with the quality is till good.  I think in every city in japan, it is quite common to find the second hand-stores. I got an idea to find the second store from googling. In the first search, I found Hard off Gakusei store (Kumamoto branch) as the second-hand shop. On the clear sunny day, I was by-cycling with the guide from the google map. I took around 5 km from my dormitory to go there, and surprisingly before i reached the Hard off gakusei, i found another second-hans stored, namen Second-street.  The Second-street store is quite good store, has many second-hand stuff ranging from clothes, ...
