These past few days (June 15-17) have been largely uneventful. We've had several great meals courtesy of the guys and girls from HIT, as well as a few parties and movie events. We've also had a ton of class, upwards of 6+ hours a day. I'm learning Japanese at an incredible rate, one I can hopefully keep up. I am really looking forward to this weekend as we are going to Yachiyo, a national park and traditional Japanese arts reserve. We will be floating somen noodles down bamboo pipes eating them as they cascade downwards. Should be a blast! I love camping. I also should get some incredible pictures, some to rival the shots off of the mountainside by our apartment.
