Some stuff happens

This is DEVON.

So last week, we helped out in the Englis classes, playing excitig games such as "Down by the banks of the hanky panky" ad speed reading games. We did this about a hundred times.

We go home in two days, which I must say, I'm excited to do. Its been a fun time, but iI'm more than ready for American food, my friends, my kitty cat, and some delicious wi-fi.

In other news, we went to Iriomote island, which sounded really exciting on the itenerary, but I felt was sort of lame. It was fun, but lame.
The "Night Walk" which seemed like the best part, was not in fact a walk through the jungle where everyone's life could be at sake rom the poisonus snakes. They made it out ot be this way. It was not.
Instead, we walked down the street to the vending machine for a late night drink. And then walkd back.

No biggie, the next day we had a river tour, which conssted of riding in a sketchy looking bot a few miles upriver. It wasn't a total waste, though. We got see this trewhich was over 2oo years old, and MASSIVE. Not just any tree either, but this special jungle tree. It looks pretty freaky, I can't even describe it.
Anyhow, I have pictures. I don't think I will be adding any pis to our photobucket, as I stillhave 100 pictres on my camera, and we go home so soon. you will all just have to wait.

Today, I got to watch a Japanese tea ceremony, which was really neat. In a little while we willgo up to Kabira village for a festival, and I tink I might end up wearing a Kimono. I'm pretty excited.

I would giv a bigger update, but this chair is REALLY uncomfortable.
See everyone soon.

Independance Day in Japan

Andre here,
Today was the 4th of July, but no fireworks or barbeques here.
Today my family took me to Kabira Bay which is apparently known as `the most beautiful spot in all of Japan`. Which is saying something. There we took a glass boat ride, which is a boat, with the center cut out and made of glass so you can see beneath the water, and look at all the fish swimming around. There were some amazing fish down there, long, fat, skinny, small, bright, dark. It was awesome.

Afterwards we went to a resturant next to the glass boats, where we got Okinawan soba, which is absolutely delicious. This kind had pieces of pork in it, and was very tasty.
Speaking of delicious things, whatever my host mother is cooking at the moment smells absolutely amazing. Kinda garlicy, but anyways.

After eating and some more sight seeing, we returned home. But we werent there for long, because Kenta`s class was having a party at the beach. Kenta and I hopped on our bikes and headed over there. It was really nice. The water was the perfect temperature to counter act the eat. We played around for a few hours, there, and then came home. It was deffinetly the most entertaining thing I`ve done on this trip.

Tomorrow I`m having dinner with Taiga, the student I hosted last year. His family invited Kenta and I over the other night, so I am looking forward to that.
