Today we had our scavenger hunt, and I used the trains for the first time! It was very confusing, especially when we had to ask for directions and the Japanese people were trying to tell us how to get there, but we did it!!! (Only to come back to base to find out that there was a specific flier on how to get to the place we had gone to... oops...)
My group didn't win for the scavenger hunt, but we did pretty good. We got most everything done. I even got to eat at the Chili's on the base, although it was suuuuuper expensive. Not as expensive as the off base TGI Friday's, though, because there a burger is apparently 1580 yen, which is like 16 dollars. Ridiculous.
People are planning on going bowling tonight since we all got free bowling passes for the entire summer, which is pretty cool.
Oh, and by the way, I should probably tell u a little about the base. It's huge! And they have giant birds called seahawks that swoop down and literally steal food right from your hand! One girl from camp adventure already lost a sandwich. And this base used to be a Japanese base. There are a bunch of old tunnels running underground all throughout the base and the city where the Japanese had their base headquarters and even a hospital. They would use the tunnels as an escape route and for protection in case of attack. Unfortunately, almost all the tunnels are closed up now =(
It's raining here for the first time, really. It rained before a little bit, but that was just sprinkling really. Now, it's pouring down. I walked from the gym to the TPU (where we live) and I got totally soaked!!! It's still really warm, though, so at least i didn't get cold!!!
Can't wait for camp to start on monday!!!
