(The trip this time was full of adventures. There are many first times, although it's tough, but that was fun!)
まずは飛行機で財布を落としたこと。はじめて。。ANAへEメールをした。そして、日本人の友達はANAに電話をかけてくれた。財布が見つけたと聞いた。よかったね！でも、もう東京の都市の遠くところにいるから、都市にいるとすぐ羽田空港へ取りに行くとANAに伝えた。
(Firstly, I dropped my wallet in the plane. First time.. I sent an email to ANA. My Japanese friend had also helped to make a call to ANA. Heard that the wallet was found. I'm so glad about that! However, we we are not far away from Tokyo city, had conveyed to ANA that I will get from Haneda Airport once we are in the city.)

(The sad thing is, as we are unable to make it with the bus back to the carpark where our car is, we took a bus towards to Hirayu Onsen and a taxi from Hirayu to Kamikochi hotel.

郡上八幡の旅館へ行く～ (To an inn in Gujo Hachiman!)
あいにく、予約した旅館の近く事故に遭った。郡上八幡は本当に危ないところです。来る人は必ず気をつけてね！ここは小さい十字路がたくさんあって、夜に光源があまりなくて、安全のための凹面鏡もない。私たちの車はゆっくり進んでも、左側の車は突然現れて、その車の側に突き当たった。それで、その車を凹ませた。私たちのバンパーもちょっと壊れた。早速、その車の運転手は警察を呼んだ。警察は英語がよく分からないようだ。国際免許証に書いた日付まで読めなかった。警察の話した文は長くて、敬語ばかりで、私なりに重要なポイントを取り上げて、運転手にする友達と私は交番でやっと解決した。私たちは交番にいる間、残った友達は旅館の手続きをした。こんな日は本当に大変だった。
(Unfortunately, we encountered an accident near the reserved inn. Gujo Hachiman is really a dangerous place. Please be careful for people who are coming here. There's many small intersections, not many light sources, and there are no concave mirrors for safety. Although we drove the car slowly, the car coming from the left suddenly appeared and we collided to the side of that car. We dented that car. Our bumper has also been slightly damaged. That driver's car quickly called the police. The police officer does not seem to understand English. The police officer could not even read the date on the international driving license. The police officer's sentence was so long and full of "Keigo-formal language", I picked up the important points to my best knowledge, and finally settled with my friend who is our driver at the police post. While we were at the police post, the rest of my friends were doing the necessities at the inn. It's really terrible on such a day.)
でも、優しい警察は私たちを旅館まで送ってくれた。本当によかった。
(But, the nice police officer fetched us to the inn. Really glad about it.)
やっと、晩御飯を食べられる。郡上八幡の吉野家です！
(Finally get to eat dinner. Yoshinoya at Gujo Hachiman!)
やっぱり、日本ではビーフは最強だ！
(As what I thought, the beef in Japan is the best!)
次の日、ここの道で散歩する。三時ごろ、東京に帰る～
(Next day, we walk around the streets. Will be returning to Tokyo around 3pm.)
郡上八幡城へ行く時間がないから、その周りで散歩した。
(As there is not enough time to go to Gujo Hachiman's castle, we walk around it.)

(Just as I thought, Japan has high efficiency! We made it! I'm going airport to pick up my lost wallet and my friends are returning the car.)
財布が戻てくるけど、残ったお金は半分しかない。T_T まあ。。私のせいだから、しかたがないよね。。
(Although my wallet came back, only half of the amount of money is left. T_T Well.. it's my fault at the start.. I guess nothing I can do about it...)
そして、私の友達は車の修理のため、２０万円を払った！！高い！！！しかし、みんなぶじだったから、それ何よりです。
(And, my friend paid 200,000 yen for the repair of the car!! So expensive!!! However, as everyone is safe, that is most important.)
ディズニーシーの近くのホテルに戻って、ご主人とイクスピアリで日本の友達に合いに行く！
(After returning to the hotel near Disney Sea, I went meet my Japanese friend at Ikspiari with my husband!)
