So today was the second day in Japan, we spent most of the day travelling. We started out by having our first breakfast in Tokyo at the hostel then we went shopping for lunch where I got many things such as strawberry kitkats, green tea pocky and rose flavoured chewing gum.
We travelled from Tokyo to Nikko over four trains. We started out on a train that took us two stops. Then, when we reached the final station we got the bullet train, we had to wait around for a while whilst we got our train passes which are a bit like a passport but for trains. Then we went on the bullet train where we played a classic game of go fish. We arrived in Nikko after two more trains and met our students then went to our hotel.
The hotel we stayed in was beautiful! It was a traditional Japanese style hotel with futons to sleep on. We found yukata (traditional robes) in the wardrobe which we all put on, then shortly after went to the hot springs.
The hot springs are basically a pool of really hot water, there were two, one inside, one outside. Then we went to a welcome dinner with our exchange students after exchanging gifts. We were treated to an amazing dinner filled with sushi, noodles and a variety of other different but really tasty dishes. Both schools performed, we did Roar by Katy Perry in Japanese. Then we did karaoke.
