Things have been very busy here... from a massive day on Sunday, to entering Waseda University High yesterday.
The students are all happily adjusting to their homestays and this morning (Tuesday) have undergone an orientation at Waseda High, including a tour of the impressive new building only opened in April this year. Waseda High has a very large campus and considering that there are around 550 boys in each year level, with up to 40 students in each class, it is not surprising. Some of the differences from X include a cafeteria, where you can order your food by buying a ticket through a vending machine as well as the three gymnasiums, which seem to be in use most of the time. The X students have various stories about their homestays, but I`ll let them pass these on themselves.
On Sunday, we went to Asakusa (Sensoji temple), Akihabara (electric town), Ryogoku, where we had a sumo lunch of Chanko nabe and then onto the Sumo tournament itself. Lastly, we headed for Harajuku (youth culture and fashion) and then Shibuya to see the lights of Tokyo.
