From a boat....

Ahoy! So, Molls and I are currently sitting at the Writing Tutor’s table, as we are both writing tutors. But….there is no one to tutor! So instead I’ll write this blog. Also, the little kids of the faculty are having gym time behind us and Mom, I can guess what your every day is like. J We were supposed to have our first volleyball game last night but both volleyballs went to the fishes, along with a basketball. So, no spiking until Japan….which is in less than 3 days! We have our trips mapped out and here goes:

2/9: arrive in Yokohama at 6:00 a.m., run around the city for a while, visit the aquarium, and at night go to some karaoke bars (Singing time!)

2/10: we’ll head out to Tokyo and spend the day there, meet up with some fellow SaSers, and spend the night in a capsule hotel.

2/11: get up early and go to the Tsukiji Fish Market by 5:00 am or so and then head to Kyosan and up into the mountains to spend the night in a Buddhist monastery.

2/12: after our morning prayer with the monks we’ll head to Nara or Kyoto, then hopefully Hiroshima, then head to Kobe to catch back up with the ship.

2/13: go to a Samurai castle and wander around Kobe and be on the ship around 5:00 to head to China.

So yeah, that’s about it! You know, no big deal or anything, just cruising around Japan on a bullet train!! Tonight we are going to cardio aerobics up on the 7th deck and then plenty-o-studying because we have our first exam tomorrow. Grar, school. Alrighty, off to get smart. I love you and miss you all, and am collecting goodies from around the world for you all!
