Learning to Bow

I did not like the hospital. Not at all. The crutches were too short, and they were only sticks from trees. The nurses were quite harsh, and demanded answers right away. When I asked for the help from another doctor, many were quite surprised. This truly embarrassed me, and many people are still asking me questions about it. After I was able to walk again, I was very glad that my friends would bring me food and accessories at my apartment. Another person asked me "can you use chopsticks?" though. ;_;

The idea of Trash Day in Japan, and at Sano Junior High is a great thing. I truly enjoyed picking up trash with the students; I had a very fun day. I think the students enjoyed it too. They enjoyed playing "trash games" as well as roaming the city. I hope this will occur more often throughout Japan, since this concept will help the country thrive.

I was very surprised when I received a spork instead of traditional Japanese chopsticks during lunch time. Although there were chopsticks available for use, the recommended utensils were sporks. The available chopsticks were made out of plastic, and shorter than others that I have seen.

Both the Shinto and Buddhist religions are both amazing. Although they have two different beliefs entirely, people can live in Japan with both of these without suffering. The shrines were very nice, although simple. The children were always at my side, asking me if I saw any ghosts. That night when I fell asleep, I saw Mt. Fugi. This hopefully means I will have good luck throughout the next year!
