Well, I had an amazing time off in Japan! Our last break was eight days, including the three night home stay. Now my team is preparing to reunite for our next summer camp.
So for those of you wondering if I'm actually working this summer, the answer is "Yes, I am." I just had a week off, that's all. I will have a few more breaks this summer, though, and it's the last one that I want to talk about briefly.
The seven members of Group 6 will be leaving Tokyo and be going to Kyoto for a few days around August 13th. This will be the first time that I've ever been outside of the Tokyo area in Japan, and I'm rather excited to ride on the Shinkansen bullet train.
I've wanted to visit Kinkaku-ji, The Golden Pavilion, for years, and I think I might finally get my chance this summer. If it doesn't work out for some reason, I'm sure I'll still have a good time, but I'll be so happy if I do, in fact, get a chance to see it in person.
And after our break in Kyoto, the group is breaking up into groups of 2-2-2-1 for the last set of camps, and we don't know our groups yet. Our last two camps are actually through a different organization, and they typically like to have eight counselors from different countries around the world, so I'll have a chance to meet some more interesting people towards the end of the trip. We'll still teach English to the kids, but if I'm understanding the program correctly, it's going to focus more on diversity and friendship, which will be a nice change after doing four more English camps.
I don't want to overload you with information, so instead I'll promise to write again soon.
Take care,
Adam
