Yamanaka Retreat

We started off the day with an early 8am breakfast. The breakfast is so strange there, they mix all the foods of the day. Pot roast, scambled eggs, bacon, fish, etc. After that we had our policy and Nathan presentation. They weren't too bad, but the discussions were much more interesting after. After that we had dinner. The dinner wasnt too bad, but it will be nice when im able to pick what I want to eat. Afterwards we had a "drinking party" with the Japanese students. They were so fun, but hanging out with Roc and Professor Wallin was fantastic. It was so much fun interacting with the Japanese students in a non formal way. I had so much fun this weekend, but it would be good to come back to Tokyo. I ended up wresteling with Andrew infront of of everyone. I held my own even though he wrestled in high school. I have a massive brush burn on my elbow now, but it was fun. Afterwards we just hung out with the students for the rest of the night. We leave to go back to Tokyo tomorrow, and we will be stoping at Mt. Fuji tomorrow on the way home. I hope the weather will be better.
