HIiiii. So we are at our first farm right now and it is absolutely incredible. Our host (Nagata Eiichi) is so awesome, he took us out to dinner last night as a second welcome party (the first being on the night we got here, had a bottle of jack daniels in his den and ate weird food). There are 3 other wwoofers here and I like them all - two boys and a girl. Bob got here yesterday and is staying in a room with us, Yuca and Dan met a few weeks ago and are dating - she is japanese which is really helpful in understanding things. We (all 6 woofers) have our own house. I think Nagata is loaded, he used to do bioengineering and worte some books, but now just farming. Its harvest time so I've been picking apples for 7 hours a day, which is actually kind of fun. I've pretty much mastered the technique of picking the apples so that just the right amount of stem comes with it. Willy and I had an apple picking contest and I won (but only by 3 apples). We've been playing lot of games and singing disney songs in the orchards. Tokyo was really fun. We were only there for a few days so we picked a lot into each day - I feel like I have been in Japan for weeks. We went to the fish market at 7am (meant to get there at 5am but our alarm clock didn't go off). It was sooooo crazy, tons and tons of weird fish. I took a lot of pictures and will post them later. Also, the toilets are really intense here. Now if I sit on a toilet and it isn't heated I feel really annoyed (it only happened once). I think this is the most boring thing I've ever written, sorry, just tired. Going to the grocery store. LOVE
