Today we leave Ueda. We gathered at the station at 8:30, and waited for the bus to arrive at 9:08. There was a lot more crying, and lot's of luggage and many thanks and hugs. We boarded the bus and yelled 'arigatou gozaimashita' (thank you very much) out the window, only to find out that we were going to sit here five more minutes. When we finally began to leave, we yelled 'sayounara!' And other varying ways of saying goodbye and thank you. I'm pretty sure the other people who were on the bus were done with us. The bus moved, then got stuck at the stop light, and then the host families chased us, and we waved and yelled goodbye again. Now for an almost four hour bus ride.
When we arrived we checked in and then some of us went to Shinjuku to shop a little more. I got a cat ears headband. We tried to yell out 'Marco' in hopes of a 'Polo', and 'Red Robin' in hopes of a 'yum', but we just made fools of ourselves.
After that, some of us went to a cool restaurant where you could fish for your own fish to eat. We weren't very good at it. We ended up just stabbing flounders instead of actual fishing. We also messed up with our orders because we got four to five fish, but ended up getting seven fish at the table, and after we had parfaits, another fish came out.
Then, we were up all night hanging out and watching videos to spend our last night together.
