So this weekend is definitely competing for the coolest one in Japan yet! Hiroshima, Kobe, and Kyoto all in one weekend is like one of the most intense things ever possible! A lot, but totally amazing. Friday was a pretty good day, the kids were a little bit crazy, but really what else is new with them. I don't really know that anything was extremely different. At the end of the day instead of pie the counselor we did throw flour on the counselor, which I liked way better. It was Chris's (who it was his first week and he's William's little brother from the kinder room) and Chandler's last week. It was so incredibly sad, and even though chandler and I have had our ups and downs I started to cry a little and I'm really going to miss that kid. So since it was their last week I chose both of them to do the flour the counselor and they did me, which I was kind of honored by. So I had flour all up in my hair and eye lashes and eyebrows and all over my clothes. Sure smelt a lot less horrid than the rotting milk smell. It even made me like wanna bake something. So after camp was over Julie and I booked it home because we had to leave about an hour later in order to get to our bus on time. We finished packing, took a shower, and then got Kelly and were ready to go. I had planned everything out that we were going to do the night before, so it was pretty awesome to say the least. I also got a package from my mommy on Friday, which was amazing because I miss them so much. It was a card and then the book that is in Dispicable Me about the three little kittens. It made me cry at the end because it is about your mommy being in your heart even when you are away. Awe. I can't believe I will get to see my family in 2 weeks. So anyways, we grab out stuff and start walking. I had to run to single sailor office to print stuff off, course I forgot the flash drive so I had to run back to my room then run back to the office again and actually print the stuff off. But that wasn't that bad except that I was instantly all sticky and sweaty. All good though. After that we went to the ATM and then took a cab to the Sagamino station. (didn't want to be all nasty on the all night bus trip) When we finally got to the Shinjuku station, which was near our boarding area, we had to walk like all over the place trying to find where to board the bus and we didn't know where we were going, so we ended up taking another cab to find it . It is a good thing we did because it was way out of the way and we never would have gotten to it before check in closed for our bus. We were literally running to where it was and all the Japanese people were like looking at us all funny as we are run / waddling trying not to let the stuff fall out of our backpacks and stuff. We ended up getting there like right before check in closed and we printed off our tickets. It was much different than the Shinagawa station because it was smaller and check in was easier. We somehow didn't all end up on the same bus either which was weird. Julie and I were on bus B, but Kelly was on bus A. We were like what the heck. Julie and I didn't even book our tickets at the same time and Kelly and I did. Kind of frustrating, but it was all set to arrive at the same time still, so whatever. So Julie and I boarded our bus and got our seats and stuff and the bus was packed. There were only 2 empty seats in the end, and one of them ended up next to me. Julie and I figured that someone had bought the tickets and they were just like late or forgot or something like that. So she ended up moving next to me which was nice. I was planning on passing the heck out but unfortunately for some reason I couldn't fall asleep. At least from what I can remember. I know for the first while I was inbetween a state of awake and asleep, but it really sucked when they would like stop at rest stops and turn the lights on and stuff. Don't remember that the last bus I took cuz I was sleeping the whole time. But near the end I slept more . Of the 12 hour bus ride, I probably slept completely a total of like six hours. Which I guess is livable considering.
Julie and I arrived the next day at the Hiroshima station around nine, which was an hour after we were supposed to have arrived so we weren't the happiest campers, but we still had all day there so whatever. But no Kelly! It was sad. We were really worried. The rest of the group wouldn't let us take our phone, even though we were traveling half way across the country and they were just going to Tokyo, so we couldn't get in touch with her. We ended up finding a pay phone and calling her a couple of times. At least we got ahold of her and stuff. She ended up arriving finally like 2 hours later, which was insane. So by the time we were all prepared and ready to go it was like 11:30. We have no idea what her bus driver was doing but he must have been on some sort of drug or something and was just like going the wrong way or something. Her bus only left like 20 mins after our . Have no idea what happened, but anyways she got there and was safe, which was the most important thing of all. We first headed to Peace Memori
al Park, which was the main thing to do in Hiroshima. We bought a day pass that let us use all the street cars and the ferry for the day. It was only like 8 dollars, so that wasn't bad at all. We got to peace Memorial Park and it was crazy. The first thing we saw was the A bomb building, Which is like the famous building that was almost directly hit by the bomb, but the shell of it is still standing. I don't know how that is possible, but it is pretty much awesome. We took tons and tons of pictures, but it didn't feel right smiling in them, so we just stood there somberly. Such a sad environment. Especially since we were visiting on the day after the 65th anniversary of the bombing, which I didn't realize when we had actually booked the trip. The Children's Peace Memorial was sad too. Later in the museum we read the story about it and it was this girl who had survived the bombing, but later gotten leukemia from the radiation. She folded 1000 paper cranes and wished to live (it is an old legend) but it didn't work of course and she died. Now in Hiroshima, paper cranes are like the symbol for hope and prayers going up to the hurting or sick. There were thousands and thousands of strings of paper cranes put onto every memorial in the park, and there are tons of them. T
he Children's Peace Memorial was put up and fundraised by the classmates of that girl who died to remember her and those like her. It is a beautiful memorial, but it was really sad. The museum was probably the saddest part I think. There were pictures of the aftermath, left behind things and clothing that were charred, etc. The most interesting thing was the part about why Hiroshima was chosen as a target and why the other targets were as well. I found it all very sad. At the end of the museum, we were able to sign our names in this log book and write down our thoughts about the experience. I said I pray that we all remember Hiroshima and never let it happen again, no matter what the supposed reason. So incredibly sad that it happened. After peace memorial park, we went to Miyajima, which is this island that has a floating shrine. It was stinking awesome. The street car ride to the ferry took a while, but the ferry was so tight. It was neat getting closer and closer to the torri gate floating in the water. The deer on the island were tame like the deer in Nara. Have to say that tame deer aren't nearly as exciting the second time of seeing them as the first. But it was still pretty cool. Except for the deer that were like chasing me everywhere. Not cool. Literally two deer were like following me no matter where I turned and wouldn't leave me alone. Julie documented it on camera lol. It was quite a walk to get to the place where the shrine was, but we made it eventually. We had just missed low tide, when we would actually be able to walk to the
floating torre gate, but we could get really close, which was amazing! It was absolutely beautiful with the gate and then the distant mountains and the city in the background. Very worth the ferry ride over. After that we went over to the Hiroshima Castle . It was quite a ways from where we were, but our goal was to make it there by sunset. We were like sprinting over to the castle, and just made it in time. I thought that the castle was absolutely gorgeous. It was much more authentic looking than Osaka castle, and it was all wooden and rustic looking and stuff. Woot!!!! Those were the main things to hit in Hiroshima, so we went back to Peace Memorial park to see it at night, and there was like this peace concert to commemorate the 65th anniversary of the bombing. We sat on the edge of the wall next to the river and watched some of the concert. It was really cool. They gave everyone glow in the dark stuff to wave during the concert . When we first got there, this older Japanese guy started talking to us about the concert and where we were from and stuff. He gave us our glow in the dark bracelets. It was really funny. Julie right after she got hers accidentally flicked it into th
e water, and we could just see it floating in the dark water below. The dude gave us another one, which was super nice. There was a like jr. High or high school orchestra playing when we got there and they played popular songs like It's a Small World. After them this like semi popular boy band got up and was singing. They sang amazing grace, and then some traditional Japanese songs. It was really neat to see everyone singing these traditional songs. There was also this like glow in the dark stuff that was running through tubes all over the place. Absolutely beautiful. On our way to the bus station to freshen up before we left, we ran into Kaylee and Lauren from our camp, who were traveling in Hiroshima that weekend too. It is crazy that in such a big city we ended up running into eachother. That seemed to happen a lot this summer lol. But they were nice enough to let us use their hotel room to freshen up. That night at around ten thirty we boarded another overnight bus from Hiroshima to Osaka the next day. The best part about this was that we were all on the same bus and that this bus actually left and arrived when it said it was going to unlike the one the night before.
That night I passed the heck out the entire night, which was much needed. The bus ride was only like six and a half hours though, so still not too much sleep. We arrived at Osaka at around five, got ready for the day, and then boarded a train to Kobe. Kobe was pretty cool. We got there before anyone was out on the town and really before anything was really open, but we got to the port which is like the main thing
to see in Kobe. Kobe is like a city that was completely destroyed by this horrible earthquake a long time ago, and it is famous basically for being rebuilt. The port tower was really cool looking and the Martime Museum looked stinking awesome next to it. The ground had tons of trash all over the place there because the night before there had been a festival. It was crazy that we were there so early that that stuff hadn't even been cleaned up completely yet. After that we walked around and tried to find the Hyogo Buddha that is in Kobe. We ended up finding it, and although it was closed we took some pretty cool pictures through the gate. At that point we split up and Julie and Kelly continued exploring and I went to meet up with Keika and her mother to go to the Open Bible church that is in Kobe. It was a little scary venturing out on my own (which we are not technically supposed to do), but it wasn't bad. I met them in front of the Mr. Donuts in front of the Suma Station in Kobe. They were extremely nice, and Keika's mother ended up dropping us off at the church. Keika is like 33 or something, but she just happened to be home visiting for the weekend. ( she lives in Tokyo). She was such a great help to me at church. She introduced me to all of Tammy's friends and I w
as able to meet like the pastor and some other members of the church who spoke some English. They gave me like a boutenier for being a guest and had me fill out a guest card. It was really nice when they introduced me during the service and all like greeted me and stuff. I loved it. The worship was really cool because I knew quite a few of the songs that had been translated from English to Japanese. It was such a blessing to see that even in different cultures and stuff the worship is the same. Well I mean not like the same that's not what I mean. The heart of it is the same. Like people's hear t and intentions for worship. The message, from what I gathered with the verses and Keika's help, was about witnessing and having faith and patience. It is much harder for the Japanese people to get converted to Christianity I guess because 1, Christianity is such a minority here, and two, I guess Japanese people don't talk about that kind of stuff. Faith I mean, like they would in say America. It was nice of the pastor to try and throw in some English phrases when he could to help me out. I liked talking with the pastor afterwards too because he said to say hi to Monte and Norm LeLaCheur and stuff. That was really cool. It made the world seem even that much smaller and connected. After church I met up with the other girls at another station and we headed to Kyoto.
When we got to Kyoto, we met one of Kelly's friends who had studied abroad in Iowa the previous year. Her name is Saschio, and she brought along two of her other friends. It was really nice having them, one, because they spoke Japanese , And two, because they were from around that area and helped us get around.
First we went to the Fushimi-Inari shrine, which is in English, the thousand torri gates. It was amazing. Literally rows and rows and rows of these torri gates everywhere. Like a tunnel of them. It was absolutely amazing to see. After that we went to the thousand warrior temple, which was called Susangendo Temple. It is like this really really long building with a Indian Buddha in the middle, and on either side of it were 500 warrior statues that were like guarding it. These warriors just kept going and going in the building. It was sooo cool. Unfortunately pictures were not allowed, although I bought some postcards and took a picture of the postcard so I could show it to whoever reads this. It was 
just amazing. At the front of each one of the ten rows of warrior was this like statue of a different god. They all looked really weird, but it was pretty awesome. The next temple we went to was the golden temple, but that one was all the way on the other side of Kyoto. Unfortuantely, unlike Nara and Nikko and places like that, Kyoto did not have the lovely set up where everything worth seeing was all in the same convenient location and easily accessible. We had to take a taxi to get to the Golden temple in time before it closed, and it was like 9 dollars each. Sheesh. Kyoto was definitely the most expensive of any of my cities in Japan. Plus like every temple we went into cost between like 500 and 600 yen. They must rake in so fricken much money at these places. The golden temple was definitely worth all the money and hastle to get to though. It was absolutely amazing! Legitimately 20 kilogram
s of gold on this fricken huge temple thing that was like floating in the water. It was one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen, and I'm so glad I got to experience that. Plus the grounds for this temple were gorgeous! Itw as like garden after garden and lakes and ponds. Also, there was this tree / bush thing that was cut to look like a traditional Japanese boat. Very cool. After that we had time for one more temple, so we went to this famous rock zen garden one. I'm pretty sure it was called Ryiojini or something like that. It was really neat to see. The zen garden was this rock garden that was raked all cool and stuff. It had fifteen huge rocks in it , Since 15 is supposed to be the luckiest or most holy number in Japanese culture or something. There was also this beautiful fountain hand washing coin looking thing there. It was just plain awesome. The last thing we had time to do before our time in Kyoto came to an end was the Gion district. The Gion district is famous because of the geishas and Meikos. A meiko is the same thing as a geisha, except that geisha is older than 20 years old, and meiko is older than 20 year
s old . I was so hoping we would see one, but it didn 'T happen. Oh well. It just gives me one more reason to come back to Japan right! The Gion district was just beautiful in its own right though. Everything was very authentic like Japanese architecture and stuff. Absolutely gorgeous. I loved Kyoto. It was Julie's birthday that day, and we were going to take her out to dinner for okonomiyaki, but we weren't able to because we ran out of time. Instead Kelly and I snuck off to one of the mini marts and bought her some snack foods. Julie loves food, and so we knew there is nothing she would want more on her ride home than some snacks lol. Once we said goodbye to our Japanese friends and boarded the fricken expensive bullet train home, we snuck up to Julie and sang her happy birthday and gave her the stuff we got her. She was so embarrassed because everyone was all quiet and we were being a little loud, but I think she really appreciated it . The bullet train home was absolutely amazing. It got us to Shin-Yokahama in like 2 hours, Which is way less than the 8 hour bus ride it would have taken to get there from Tokyo. Just shows how fast this thing is. It kind of reminded me of the inside of an airplane because of how there were seats and then an aisle. Then there would be like a stewardess that walked through and offered snacks and drinks (although unfortunately unlike a plane that was not free). I passed out like for more than an hour though. I was so tired from the long weekend. When we got to Shin-Yokohama, we boarded a train to Yokohama, and then were going to transfer to go back to Sagamino. Unfortunately, when we were one stop away from Yokohama our train stopped. Everyone got off and we thought it was just another stop before we would keep going, but the train legitimately started going backwards. We were like staring out of the window in shock. Like what the heck! !!!! It didn't say on the thing that it was the end of the line and we had to transfer again, it just said that we were going straight to Yokohama! Couldn't believe it. At least we made it eventually , Although it was much later than originally planned. Once we got to the Sagamino station and were going to walk to base it started to downpour hardcore, so once again we took a cab. On the walk, well should I say run, home from the gate, we were soaked to the bone and dripping water. All in all, very very unforgettable amazing weekend!!!!
Julie and I arrived the next day at the Hiroshima station around nine, which was an hour after we were supposed to have arrived so we weren't the happiest campers, but we still had all day there so whatever. But no Kelly! It was sad. We were really worried.
