Here is where you are supposed to wash your hands and mouth before entering the Temple area. There is water in the wooden tub and one is supposed to use the long spoon shaped item. (sorry, no picture for the temple attached to this cleansing area).
We then went to a tourist trap that leads to a Temple.
Voila, a Temple. Actually, this might be a picture from the steps of the temple.
Tuesday we had an orientation at school and then went to a Tokyo Swallows baseball game. It was a smashing time.
Alex, a fanatical Boston fan gave his Red Socks hat to a Japanese kid. The kid knew one word in English and it was "Yankees", so Alex felt the need to change just one young mind. This could get me started on who is worse, Boston on NY fans, but there is no need to raise blood pressure at this time of day.
At the games, beer people walk around with keg backpacks. I can't image a 100 lbs girl carrying 40 lbs of beer for 2 hours, but I guess it's what the people want.
On Friday night a bunch of us went out to dinner at a tradition Japanese restaurant. We were put in a private room with door (without our shoes).
Speaking of leaving our shoes outside of the room... In the US, people might have been worried about the shoes being stolen. Not in Japan. People are too nice here and don't understand what stealing is.More posts to come soon.
