Today we had our free, or open campus, day. We had a couple different groups go off and do their own things today including going to an onsen in Arima, take a day trip to Kyoto, and go to KGU to speak with prospective students. My group decided to go to Universal Studios in Osaka. It was a very long and tiring day, but the rides and attractions were a lot of fun. Our favorite ride that we went on today was probably the Hollywood Dream roller coaster.
Yesterday, we had some time to enjoy takoyaki with our friends at KGU as well as celebrate with them in yukata. Later in the night we went to a park and set off some fireworks and sparklers. I can't express my thanks to the students and faculty of KGU enough for all the thought and work that they have put into making our stay here very pleasant, fun, and educational.
Tomorrow we go to Kyoto as a group and the day after we will be taking the shinkansen, or bullet train, to Hiroshima. I am greatly looking forward to these two day trips and experiencing everything else that Japan has in store for us as we wrap up our trip!
