So, the trips to YFU’s main office and the US embassy were pretty nice . The YFU board members were so nice and genuinely interested in us, it was really great. I had long conversations with two of them in a combination of Japanese and English. It was really nice. The lunch, though, had no vegetarian entrees except for Soba noodles.

The trip to the US Embassy was very nice and interesting, though it did seem like they really really wanted to recruit us into the foreign services. Nevertheless, it was interesting to hear all their stories. 🙂

Ok, I am really longing for some vegetables. All I have had the whole day has been Soba Noodles, Miso Soup, and a combination. I really want vegetables, in any shape or form!

Will depart for Okinawa tomorrow morning, hopefully I will have time at Narita Airport to upload these. BTW Tokyo seems to have Free Public Wifi, it’s just that we were constantly moving that I couldn’t connect to it. But anyway, the YFU reception was RLY RLY nice. And I have realized that I really like wasabi here, probably because it’s fresh. The dry wasabi on TJ’s peas goes straight to your nose, but this wasabi actually tastes really good! Oh, and the fruits are amazing!
