more boats!

After the short trip to the beach with Baba Sensei, some of the buddies came round the dorm to lend and help us get dressed in Yukata's (summer kimono). We were going on an evening cruise around Tokyo Bay and if you wear a yukata you get a 500yen discount! 

We boarded the cruise ship in Hamamatsucho around 7pm then cruised around for 2 hours. The ship was a nomihodai (all you can drink for 2hours) and they had typical Japanese summer food- fried chicken, grilled squid, takoyaki (fried octopus), yakisoba (grilled noodles), etc.

Got plenty of stares walking through the station!

The night view of Tokyo is really pretty from out at sea! After the boat cruise was over.. everyone rushed home to change out of Yukata's and then we headed out to Jiyugaoka for one last Karaoke party...

Everyone was exhausted but we powered through it for one final memory! One of the exchange students was catching the first train (5am) to get to the airport so some of us walked back to the dorm around 3am.. The sun was just about up by the time we made it back - it get's too bright, too early here!
