Monday 3 October
Today after leaving the sister school we headed out to the highlands and undertook a sample food challenge, walked the old streets of Gujo Hachiman, drove to the mountain village of ShirakawaGo. Then through the beautiful mountains to Matsumoto city for the night! 
then drive through the beautiful mountains; misty and dark due to the weather.

Leaving the host families is always tough. Chelsea, Caitlin and Micaela those fake prawns are making me hungry!
Lots of photo’s of food and friends. 2 pretty important ingredients of life!
Hi Aimee, looks like you are all having the best time. Only a few more days of exploring and making memories…enjoy every moment. Love you x
Hi siaan. Great to see more photos. A question though… Is the face mask cos you are “turning Japanesa” (song from my era) & just like it … Or are you not well?
Hoping it is the former.

Hi, Siaan has a mild cold and she is being very Japanese polite and wearing the mask so the rest of the team don’t share her catch. Regards Mrs S
