Wednesday, June 1, 2011 at 11:24PM May 29 - Typhoon Songda!
;)
Today was intended for a trip to Inujima Island to see contemporary art installations located in abandoned industrial sites. The group was looking forward to the ferry ride and a biking adventure. We had also hoped for a break in the rainy weather and to see and feel some sunshine. However, a typhoon impacting our area cancelled our plans. (Safety comes first!)
;)
Although we were bummed out about having to stay indoors with gloomy weather everyone made the best of it. Another day of rest, drying out our soggy shoes (Hannah learned they dry out faster if you stuff newspaper in them to absorb the moisture), catching up on assignments, and contacting family and friends is always good. Many of us went shopping in Takashimaya and picked up lunch. Having a hotel connected to a train station with tons of shops and food is very convenient!
;)
The day ended with a group dinner out at a Japanese restaurant. We all were given 1500 yen to spend. It is amazing how much food we receive and even more astonishing how every time we manage to clean our plates and still have room for dessert! Our table was filled with edamame, octopus, eel, salmon sashimi, eggplant casserole, dumplings, steak, chicken wings, squid, salads, and spring rolls of sorts. After a delicious dinner, seated around an ambient-lit private table in a Japanese environment, we left for some soft serve ice cream. We found an open soft serve shop at the train station and enjoyed the single mystery flavor they served. It was rich, creamy, a little nutty and doubled as a lip moisturizer. What ever the case may be, it will forever be known as Jergens to the 2011 Japanese Tour Crew.
Sayonara,
Piper, Bernice, and Hannah

My PB&J used to always have a bite in it from my mom "trying it out" It took me year's to realize that not all sandwiches have a bite missing ;)
