The past weekend was the most challenging I've spent in Japan so far. I went with other ALTs to Osuka, where we stayed with host families. We learned a traditional drum performance, and then went to a Buddhist temple where we sat in zazen. It was probably the most terrifying 20 minutes of my life -- at least, nothing immediately comes to mind that has scared me more. The next day, my host family took me to see a castle, Japanese garden, and kite festival museum in Hamamatsu.
I'll post photos now, because I took quite a few, but I will elaborate when I have more time. The pictures should be interesting but I think what I have to say will be just as valuable. Hope you enjoy.
