Saturday 2/5:
The next Saturday we all met again for another Yuka arranged event, this time taking us out of Tokyo for some sightseeing. Us this time was a few YSEP students again and a Japanese friend of Yuka.
It was very typical Japanese style sightseeing, that is everything was done in a big group, with guides and a strict schedule. I am not sure if it was my cup of tea, but it was nice to have experienced it.
We drove a buss out to the countryside of Japan and did different things like Sushi buffet, Wasabi (strong root you use with sushi) center visit, Strawberry picking, green tea leafs picking (which was my favorite), visiting a small water fall, and at last a boat trip out to sea with a view of Mt. Fuji.
We used the buss in-between all the different posts and passed the time by learning and teaching language. I am sure we drove the other passengers mad at one point, trying to learn thong twisters in both English, Indonesian and Japanese.
Here is the Japanese one: Tonari no kyaku wa yoku kaki kuu kyakuda
The meaning of it is partially forgotten at the moment. Here are the pictures of the day.
Japan has big Strawberries!
