Sarah-Elizabeth's Posting

Today we pulled up to the school and it smelled really bad. It reminded me of farms in Nebraska, that is if you have ever been there. We went to the castle of Okinawa in Naha city. The castle was very large and really intricate. It took us a good hour to get through the whole thing. It was bright red and we took tons of pictures of it. That will be way better than my words. On our way out Yoshiya, like the kid he is climbed a tree and got all dirty. He is just the coolest teacher in Japan!

Then we went to downtown Naha city to go shopping. David and I got a lot of stuff, while everybody else just went sightseeing. We got a tour of the place before we split up and we went to this meat market area and saw a pig head with sunglasses on it. Then we went to a fish market and looked at all of the fish there. We were asked a lot of questions about who we were we told them as we were fed fish samples. A couple of us got really grossed out because there were pig faces near by so we left.

We then went to a mall type thing where we got some little ball with taco in it. Taco is octopus arms with mayo and lettuce in it. Elizabeth and Lauren found a anpanman and baikinman carousel ride. They got on it and put money in and rode around. Cain sensei got a video of it. It was the highlight of the store.

While I rode the city bus home for the first time ever! Every one else went swimming at the pool here. Apparently the chlorine was really high and it wasn’t that fun
