After a long plane ride, we finally arrived in Tokyo. At first, the plane was quarantined to make sure that none of us were very sick. Luckily, no one was, so we were only quarantined for a couple of minutes. Once in the airport, we were given papers showing that we did not have significant illnesses. We then went through customs and then onto the train. We were on a very nice train with comfortable seats. So comfortable, that several of us started to fall asleep. But we kept each other awake with games and stories of the plane ride.
After that train, we had a couple shorted train rides before we arrived in Koenji and received our room keys and some well deserved rest.
Some time later, we all went out to Mos Burger, a Japanese burger place, as a team. It was a lot of fun to try new, yet familiar food. The following day, we went to Mitaka at the Student Impact center, which is Campus Crusade here in Japan. We got to meet the team here in Japan as well as find out about the amazing resources available at the Mikata center, such as Japanese New Testaments. We were also given a crash course in how to evangelize to Japanese students.
Right after the meeting, we went to Shibuya for a scavenger hunt. We were broken up into small teams and aksed to find some items and locations in Shibuya, including the statue of Hackiho, the most loyal dog in Shibuya and a puricura booth, a picture booth that is really popular in Japan. We were also challenged to try as many new foods as we possibly could.
Although there was no winner to the hunt, we all had an amazing time discovered a new place.
