Saturday I went to Ito and picked green tea leaves and went to a temple. Near the temple was a foot onsen. We got all dressed up to pick tea leaves but we only actually picked them for like 5 minutes which was obnoxious, but oh well. My host mom made tempura with the leaves. On the way back, we went through Tokyo and since the Japanese team color is blue, Tokyo Tower was lit blue.
On Wednesday we had skit performances for our japanese class. My group's skit was called "300 musume" 300 because we're in Japanese 300 and musume means daughter and it is a play on the real Japanese girl group "morning musume." Actuall I think our real skit name was "how to create a Japanese girl group." but...oh well.
