Saturday 17th September~ back in Tokyo


We had to leave the hostel at 6:15 so we had breakfast at the train station again today. When we got to Tokyo (新幹線~Shinkansen) station Mrs Forman realised that we had an hour to wait till the guy for Nichidai was coming to meet us, and as the arrangement had been that we would meet him on the platform we could not go out to the main shopping area so we had an hour of sitting around, doing nothing. When いし山先生(Ishiyama sensei ~Mr Ishiyama) finally got there we caught another train (local) to までめ(Medeme) the closest train station to Nichidai. From there we walked to the schools dorms where we were reunited with our bags. Our welcome party wasn’t quiet ready for us so we sat and waited (yet again)… at least this time we had comfy chairs and it was nice and cool. We then went to the school canteen for our welcome party where we met our hosts. Mine speak little English and when it was rime to go home with them I got really homesick.
