Today was our day to enjoy the stylings of Professor Roberts amidst trees and insects. We had lecture bright and early in the classroom for a few hours to discuss what we learned from the Hiroshima trip and to discuss how we analyzed the Japanese perspective towards the event. It was a good talk and covered many subjects touching upon economy, politics, history, stereotypes, and more. I think it was a solid discussion, even if it wasn't that exciting in theory. Many good points were made amidst the group and I was surprised to hear some people bring up such interesting views.
Afterwards, we were to bring our lunches and walk across the street to enter a forest-y area for fooding. We came across this open section that overlooked a valley section of the park with few trees in the way. This combined with the breeze and shade made it one wonderful, relaxing outing. However, we also had to discuss what we got out of the Hiroshima trip further and determine if we learned anything new. It's definitely been done over and over enough times to make me not really want to discuss it for a while.
This park we were in apparently held a community-owned garden too, so we went down to check it out in the valley. The rice paddies were guarded by some really cool scarecrows I'll be uploading pictures of soon. Spoilers: Pikachu and Rilakkuma took the cake for being coolest.
The rest of the night was spent hanging with the other EAP peeps and playing some card games. Not gonna lie, some drinks were shared and it didn't end beautifully for this author, but such is life. We all make mistakes. I think that's part of growing up. It's just important to take efforts not to repeat mistakes. But the next day is the day that really made minds explode and pants get creamed. Follow on to the next post and learn all...
