The Last Wednesday In Osaka

Time is going quickly it is already the last Wednesday of the Japan trip. This time next week we will be home in New Zealand. We have not been idle however some of things we have done today include:












We have discovered the answer to the marking of attendance at schools. You simply have all students remove their shoes when they arrive, the gaps in the shoe locker will quickly show students who have not arrived. These shoes belong to the students at the first Minoh Junior High school where we were guests this afternoon.



Returning from the Junior high school we passed by the local KFC outlet. The Colonel's secret recipe includes a generous dose of seaweed flakes in Japan!

There are many variations of the public clock around the world but have you one with a digital fountain display?

They may not be as big as the Kiwi kids but they are obviously strong as one of students discovered in an arm wrestle.








You never know who you will bump into on an overseas trip this young softball expert travelled all the way from Lower Hutt to play Minoh High School Softball club. They seemed pretty happy with themselves at the end of the game. I guess they won.

Last but not least there was that wonderful time of the day when you get to open your Obento and saviour the culinary delights within.
Tomorrow it's off to Hiroshima for what will probably be quite a different sort of a day. Good Night From Me
