7/15- 7/21

Well... besides the last Oshima camp...

I ONLY HAVE 2 WEEKS LEFT HERE!!!

It really goes by so fast...

Monday... went to the zoo to pick up my lost ipod! while i did go on my own it was such a joy to see one of my team mates who spoke fluent Japanese there!

Tues did a bible study (lead worship too...which also took part of the Monday). Then went to sports night! Spent most of the day outdoors listening to stories and etc! a good day of team bonding!

weds was lunch table... Dave and I went to a curry place then back to the apartment and left soon after for another FC Tokyo game (yea I'm a soccer addict) with Masashi (come on Tokyo come on Tokyo)! It was against Osaska (Osaska is 4th and FC Tokyo was 8th) and so it made for a good game especially since we tied 1-1!!!

Thurs was helping out with moving and re-organizing the office in Mark's house and also getting the weeds out of the yard! From there was an Onsen run with a Shizuoka student and Chris, Masashi and the guys!

Friday was lunch table and some intense surprising rain! After lunch table I hung out with Nobu and shot pool for a couple hours! It was great especially since he's good friends with a few of the members of the Billiards club in college (Chuo). After pool we went to get tsukemen (noodles and soup are separated) and had a whole big load of noodles)! The night ended with Shaberanaito playing guess who the person is, and tongue twisters while having a discussion on gossip.

Saturday was spent climbing mt. Fuji...
we left 6 am and got back at 2 am...
the climb up was simply crazy...to see less and less green, and to have your quads burn the minute you finish taking a break... oh it was a good climb! (actually it really was... it's a climb worth taking)
the summit was great! we had some hot chocolate! It was also just a good time to get to know the students more!
The descent though was a whole new challenge, while it was really quick for teh first half, it got dark... and we needed to use lights to make sure that we would not trip over the rocks and especially since we were sliding and walking quite fast...we only had 3 lights and since there were 8 of us... we needed to stick close.
We did not get home right away since there was a bear sighting... and also we got lost...
but it was fun talking with Mamo and Shanghai about economics and culture (shows, video games etc)...did i mention economics... hrm that's weird...

Sunday was also pretty fun!
Did some housework in the morning, then hung out with Masashi and later joined Dave and Tomohito for lunch. Then went shopping for a Jim bei also had Dai Jou join us for some hanging out and rushed over to the train station for the Hanabi fireworks festival in Yokohama! It was also Ty's b-day so we headed back for some cake =)

Monday-- taking it easy...and getting ready for some team bonding time!

Does anyone know about using Snap Fish to post photos on a blog? or maybe using Shutter fly?
