Return back to Yokohama

I didn’t do much today. I did a lot of cleaning, or what I thought was a lot of cleaning that is. I set up my house to get ready for the winter.

We started the day really early since it was a vacation trip. The male teachers woke up at 7am and went straight to take another bath. That makes a total of three baths in 2 days. After the morning bath, we had breakfast. It was pretty good, but it was a bit weird to have some sushi for breakfast. It was good, but weird. They had a lot of other things too; it was delicious, well except for one thing that was a bit too sour for me. It had a nasty look to it too.

It was a quick breakfast and then we went to look around the place and went into the gift shop. There wasn’t anything interesting to buy so I didn’t buy anything. I didn’t think that it would be worth it to spend the money in there like that. We quickly had to go back to our rooms and get changed to go back to the city. Our train left at 9:53am, but we jumped on a Taxi around 9:15am to get to the station to look around there and so the other teachers could do some more shopping for souvenirs. I didn’t get anything because once again, nothing worth getting.

We took a limited express train that actually would have been faster for me to go home if I got off at Ofuna station, but instead I got off at Yokohama. All the teachers split soon after that and I just decided to go back home and get my house ready for winter. The days and nights have steadily been getting colder. I wanted to get my heater out and ready in case it got really cold and I want to be prepared for that. So when I jumped on the train to go back to Hongodai station, and exited the station, it started to pour. I didn’t know that it was going to rain so I had to walk home in the rain, which wasn’t very cool. It was very cold and the rain didn’t make it better. I’m sure that it will snow this winter and probably sometime in the next two weeks.
So I’m glad that I got my room ready for winter. It’s very good even though my room isn’t clean yet, but it will be soon enough. I got the oil needed for the heater and filled that sucker up and I have plenty left for the next few months. The canister that I use to carry the kerosene broke, so I was leaking a lot of oil carrying it home from the gas station. That wasn’t very cool. The caps were broken, so I’ll have to get a new canister later so I could return that to TT’s family when I leave Japan.
