Camp
It looks like I will be going to camp this year.Unless something as yet unseen comes up, I will be helping to staff a short English camp for Japanese highschoolers in October. I will be serving as a "conversation" partner, helping the students to practise their English and giving them a chance to listen to native English.
It should be alot of fun. The camp will last three days. We will go out into the countryside by bus. All of the transportation and housing expenses are covered by the highschool. Most of our meals will be provided as well. It's almost like a mini working vacation to the Japanese countryside.
Another really great thing about the adventure is that we will be receiving 20,000 yen as reimbursement. While this isn't very much (about $180 US) it is alot more than I expect to require on the trip and will be one of the very few income opportunites for the next few months.

In a building or maybe a bunch of buildings.

I guess I never thought that Japan would have things like that. Is it out in the woods and stuff, or in a building?
Yay! You are doing all kinds of amazing things! So, have you found any friends who DON'T go out and get drunk on weekends....
Wow, no enforcement. That is interesting.
I saw your 2nd comment later. To be quite honest, I am unsure about the band. I looked them up and they have several CDs out, but as for whether or not they are original, I am unsure.
That is really cool!
I hope you have a great time on that.
Must... get... digi... camera...
One thing I learned while over there was that they rarely paint over their buildings. We were staying at this resort but the outside looks very dingy so I made a comment to a local missionary that all it takes is a fresh coat of paint and he said they believe that once it's built, it's good enough until the thing crumbles. So one of those things you may notice.
