Chris doesn't want to go home.
Sam-I had a good lunch.
Mike had the best last day in Japan of his life. He still hasn't died yet.
Matt: They took me to a place, that had pretty much just fish, for lunch. Even though I told them I didn't like it. It wasn't very good. But it was fun.
Jarrod: I went out to dinner with my host family and their whole family to this really nice restaraunt where it was a ton of fun and everything was really oishii!!!
Jake- Well umm, I'm going miss Japan, and I am sure I will return, but I want to see my dog, friends & family. Karaoke was amazing, absolutly nothing like karaoke in America. The whole trip was amazing.
Jemmy -My thoughts before the trip were that Japan was going to be very traditional in everything -- in many ways, yes it was traditional. However, the bigger picture is that it's more advanced than I'd thought. I like their ways of getting around: walking, biking, train, subways. It's more common to be a pedestrian than a driver, unlike here in America where people often get embarassed if they have to walk somewhere and they're seen. Also, more Japanese people speak English than I would have imagined. That was a great advantage. The temples were bigger than I would have imagined. My favorite places we went to include the Oosaka Castle and the Hiroshima Peace park.
