Day 14: Sayonara, Japan!

This morning we woke for the last time in Japan.

Handsworth students brought their second packed suitcase to the school this morning and took the opportunity to sign each other’s trip t-shirts.

Due to renovations at the main school site, and space being limited in the temporary home of the Jr. High we have been visiting, we took the opportunity to walk to a nearby mall and give students a last chance to by souvenirs from Japan.

Many of the students found the arcade and gacha machines on the top floor and spent some time challenging each other on multiplayer games and trying to win one last Kawaī toy.

We returned to the school for final goodbyes with our host students and teachers of Inage, and took the opportunity for one last group photo and some teary goodbyes before loading the bus to head for the airport.

We are now sitting at Narita airport, awaiting our flight which departs at about 6:30pm.  It’s been a fun and memorable experience – truly an adventure of a lifetime!

We’ll be home soon!
