the cove

So last week we were talking about the cove and some of the problems people have had in japan because of it. Mainly last week we talked about a movie theather that was being protested by the right wings and such. I think this has been the most interesting conversation we have had so far in class. I personally think that it is important for the guy to be able to show what movies he wants. Its important for freedom of speech and so foreth. It is also important that the right wingers are allowed to protest, they have the same rights. I didnt like how they came to his mom's house and asked her about her son and telling her how wrong it is for him to be showing the movie...cause that was just creapy. Its very important for people to do both of these things choose how and what they will express.

Hitoyoshi

So the trip to hitoyoshi was interesting I guess. The bus trip was ok for the most part, I didnt really enjoy stopping and getting off to stand in the rain....though i did think that the information was interesting. Afterwords we went to the craftpark which was fine though i didnt accually get to make anything because at first we couldnt find anyone to help us then when we did, we didnt have much time. then we got lost which was not so much fun. When we finally got to the gym, we needed up waiting there for a while...then we decided what food we will get. after that some people went to Onsen, I stayed at the gym and played vollyball which was fun. We ended up having to wait until 9ish for food which sucked really bad cause i was so hungry. After food we started drinking, this was a little awkward because some of the japanese separated themselves from us, closed the door and everything...this made me think they didnt like forgieners or somthing. we ended up going in there anyways and playing some drinking games with them, but still i wonder. I got way too drunk which is sad but it happened. the next day some of us went rafting which was amazing, so much fun. After that we went home on the train...which i slept the whole way lol.
