So it turns out studying for the quiz was a complete waste of time. All of the questions were incredibly easy, and information that I would have known had I not studied. After the quiz we had out second lecture with Professor Dairokunu was just as good as the first. After the lecture we went to the Yasukuni Shrine/War Memorial. This museum is considered very controverisal because of its open support and glorification of World War II. The museum was very interesting, but the most interesting part was that at one point, an olderJapenese man asked me why I would come to a place like this. I responded by saying that by living in America, we only get to see one side of the issue. It was very interesting to see the opposite thought on a subject as intense as World War II. After walking aroudnd the Museum and shrine, we went back for dinner. I had sushi again, I can never have enough of it here. After dinner we went to Shiboya, the times square of Tokyo. It was crazy, you come out of the subway into one of the busiest intersections in the world. Its kind of overwhelming at first. We just went out to a bar there and had a drink and some snacks. We had to come back early becasue the subway stopped running at 12. Tomorrow is sumo, i cant wait.
