Well we were supposed to go on a tour of a Sake brewery today but they brewery has cancelled all tours... due to swine flu. This is ridiculous. Swine flu is out of hand, i really don't get it. The symptoms are more mild than normal flu, no one has it. .. and people are freaking out. EVERYONE here has masks on!! It is unreal. Every store is completely sold out of masks and they have canceled all the high schools. Its just stupid. Oh well, the good thing is lots of the sites we go to have less school-kids on field trips.
So we had a free day today. In class we talked about Japan's entry into WWII and everything leading up tot he bombing of Pearl Harbor. This was really interesting for me because I had never studied it. I am excited to go to Hiroshima next week.
Tomorrow we head to Tokyo for the weekend!! I can't wait! I really hope it is everything i have dreamed of! I want to see all the crazy fashion in the Harajuku district and the neon lights and huge buildings! I have been told Tokyo is like LA and New York combined. We take a 2 hour train ride to get there but it goes around 200 MPH! I am pumped!
