Here are several things we did in town with IEC students, including checking out a local department store, seeing a temple, visiting some gymnasiums, and going to city hall.

Heather Meadows > This is where the fun begins. 777 steps...to glory! (I think Jason is trying to psych himself up for it.) (6/19)
Heather Meadows > You can vaguely see a building up top there. Yeah, that's the halfway point. (6/19)
Heather Meadows > Here I am at the halfway point, looking rather frazzled. I did end up liking this picture though, enough to put it on a business card. You can see the city of Yatsushiro behind me. (6/19)
Heather Meadows > And here I am at the top! 777 steps, damn it. And check it out, I seem to have gotten some sun...;P (6/19)
Heather Meadows > Yatsushiro, as seen from the top of the 777 steps. Ah, victory! Ah, smokestacks! (6/19)
Heather Meadows > A standard Japanese keyboard. I took this picture mainly to impress people back home. One of the big adjustments for me was the fact that I had to hit Shift-7 to get a '. I managed pretty well, though. (6/20)
Heather Meadows > Here I am on a computer at IEC, chatting with Mom and reading the AMRN. This was back when Amaris Martin and Carter Hudson were just arriving on the Eagle. You know, back before she died a fiery death. Or maybe you don't know! I was running an Academy class AND like 12 characters, all while staying in Japan. Because I'm insane. (6/20)
Heather Meadows > We headed out to a depaato (department store) with the IEC students. Japanese department stores are multi-level and can contain anything, including arcades and grocery stores. We were up on an upper floor at an arcade at this point. Jason, James, and me. (6/20)
Heather Meadows > In Japan, the crane game is called "UFO Catcher"! I like their name better. Note the little hamsters off to the left--I won one :D (6/20)
