Friday was almost entirely a travel day. I got up early, had my last breakfast with my host family, and then my parents and the 2 dogs took me to Kanazawa station. My grandmother, as a goodbye present, gave me 1000 yen for my lunch, which was very nice of her and helped out a somewhat cash-strapped college student :) I was a little later than Ujie sensei wanted, but I still managed to make the train, unlike Levi who had misheard the instructions.
The train was fairly fun, though I was disappointed that I couldnt see much of the scenery since we spent about half our time in tunnels. Also, when we switched to a double-decker(!) bullet train it really didnt seem to go all that fast, though Im sure it was. We got to our hotel around 1pm, and ate lunch at the local 7-11 (very popular here) before Ujiesensei took us on a tour of his alma mater (and W&Ls site for Japanese exchange students), International Christian University. The campus was very nice- about an hour outside of downtown tokyo, it felt a little more suburban and was very pretty, with tons of trees and such. The buildings were rather ugly though. I dont know if I could spend a semester or a year abroad, esp if I was dating someone, but ICU seemed like a great place to study abroad.
Running out of time on the computer, so Ill just say that we ate at a japanese equivalent of applebees which was fun cept everyone was drunk cept me.
