Japan Post #2
First off, responses to comments from last time:
-blackwings: Whoops. Sorry I freaked you out with that picture ^^; It's tough for me to guess how long the centipedes were...4 to 5 inches maybe? They were pretty skinny though. I was gonna put up a huge spider picture, but now I'm thinking I'd better not ^^; Thanks for the comment on my Deedlit fanart!
-cheerCHICK963: Yep, that's my cabin in the picture! It's on the left, and the bathroom's on the right.
-Night shade2: Our two main tasks were construction and helping with kids camp. About 25 kids were saved this year - it was really incredible. I'll talk more about the things we did in these posts, but if you have any other questions, feel free to ask!
The first 4 days at Camp Raphayada were work days. Between the heat and the jetlag, the work our team did was pretty tough, but still fun because we could all work together. I did anything from cleaning to kitchen work to construction on the new chapel.
This is the chapel during construction week. One of my jobs was to organize all the tools laying around.
The guys put up a new roof over the soon-to-be handwashing station.
We also got to do some sightseeing during the first week. Pastor Melton took us out to a Japanese restaurant known as the Yakiniku. It was set up like a buffet, and there were grills in each table, giving you the option to cook your own food. It was really cool!
No, I did not try the squid XD
We also went to a place called Inuyama Castle. It is a castle from the Feudal Era of Japan. Inu...Feudal Era...you can imagine where my mind was wandering hehe. Here's a group shot in front of the castle:
We got to walk through the whole thing, in bare feet no less. The castle is on top of a mountain, and there was an amazing view from the top. It was a great experience to interact with all the Japanese people we saw when we were out sightseeing, even though we couldn't say much. I'll never forget it!
This is getting long already, so I'll wrap up post #2. I'm guessing there will be two more. If anyone's having trouble getting the pictures to load, let me know and I'll use less next time. Thanks for stopping by! ^_^
