Day 122
Woke up at about 7am and met up with the man that normally take us to the English conversation on Wednesdays. We met up with a JET ALT and a Japanese lady who also comes to the Wednesday English conversation. We took a 3 hour journey to a 400 year old castle in MATSUE, which is in the Shimane Prefecture. On our way we stopped and took pictures of the Daisen mountain which is a verrrry tall mountain on the way to the castle..
I had to pay for the JET because he forgot to take his money with him. I felt bad for him because I know he didn't really want to ask me to help him out. I was more than willing because this guy is really cool and he gave some of his moving-out stuff like, an oven (so now I can do barbeue), a heater fan and the catan game we always playing as well as a bunch of clothes hangers. Plus we trash his apartment every Thursday and he is the
one to do the cleanup most time.
.. So I don't feel bad paying for him as much as I'm kinda low for my Germany trip in terms of "Just in case" money...

.. So I don't feel bad paying for him as much as I'm kinda low for my Germany trip in terms of "Just in case" money...We visited a couple historical places where the Japanese Samari would hang out back in the olden days. Most of the artifacts and stuff in these places are 400 years old and more. Is a lucky ting seh all the places we visited, we got discounted for being foreigners. At one point after we paid for a ticket. This lady called us back and told us that foreigners get discounts... Now could somebody guess how this lady knew that that there were foreigners in our 4 man group???? Suppose I was a Japanese citizen??? Why is it that she assumed I was a foreigner???? Well its obvious I guess. But I am sure there are a couple black, Japanese citizens here.
Anyway, on our way back, we stopped at this ghost town place with this popular one-eyed ghost cartoon character.
We eventually got home at about 8:30 pm there about.
