GCC :: Japan Team 2010

Well, this is a little late.

August 11th

• Delta 638 from Tokyo to Salt Lake City - 4:25 PM to 11:35 AM (Yes, we’re arriving five hours earlier than we left.)
• Delta 2166 from Salt Lake City to Memphis - 1:51 PM to 5:55 PM
• Delta 6077 from Memphis to St. Louis - 7:35 PM to 8:48 PM

Worship at Azumino Family Chapel (in Japanese!)

Andy and Takeshi can whack some serious moles. This is definitely worth watching for Takeshi-san’s double-fist-pump of victory!

Justin and Eric McEachron battling it out over a game of Mario Kart

The last activity before we left was to get everyone to balance on a platform over a log. It took us three attempts, but we did it!

Rebecca, Lucy and Sara took the younger kids on a nature hike to a waterfall as the activity for our “Nature and Plants” English class while the older kids (genki group, represent!) were mountain biking.

Kids in Japan are trusted with sharp knives; I’m pretty sure this could never happen at an American camp.

Tossing pizza like a pro during Northstar’s cooking class

The bus ride took about 90 minutes. After the first 15 or 20, kids started dropping like flies.

Sorry for the low-quality photos/video below. Those are just the things I could bluetooth off of my cell phone camera before going to bed. Photos from my actual camera will come later.

These are the Japanese bath rules. (Also, Japanese baths rule.)
