Screams and thrills at Universal Studios

 The hardest part was working out which ride was the best. Every-one had great fun and lots of rides.

We traveled by train to the studios and spent most of the day trying out eh rides and spectacular shows.

Thank-you to Sayaka and Sasaki san for helping us negotiate the public transport system. We didn't lose any one and feel like old hands at moving across large cities.

This is our last post so
Sayonara until we meet up in Darwin.

The Farewell Assembly

We have been fare-welled with a great Assembly.  Nikki presented a terrific speech with a number of funny jokes. Followed by Mr Pizzutto who took on a formal handover speech for his return next year.

Thank-you

Our time at Kamitonda has been a transformational experience and we have many people to thank for making our visit so successful and safe. It is impossible to name every-one as the teachers, staff and students of Kamitonda have so friendly, kind and welcoming. 

Several people do need to be mentioned:
Ben the Australian teacher who teaches English at the Elementary schools in this area.
Thank -you Ben for interpreting and translating for us. It was a full on job by itself but you also taught us about the Hiragana script and made the whole trip fun. 

Koumori Kocho sensei, the principal of Kamitonda Junior High School.
Koumori Kocho met us every-day and made time in his busy schedule to inform us about what was happening each day and take us to the different places we visited.

 





 

Monday - our final day

We have reached the end of our visit and are exhausted after a big weekend of touring and visiting wonderful places on Sunday with our host families.

Many met up at Adventure World and some went fishing but every-one had a great time.
