Hi everyone! We had our second rugby tournament last weekend and it was just as fun if not more so than our last tournament. We spent a whole day in Kobe. I think the highlight of the entire trip was when Phil spotted an Old Spaghetti Factory. I couldn't believe it. Come to find out there are a few in Japan. Of course we ate there. I know it's sad that that was the highlight, but we have been here for four months now. It was twice as expensive but worth it!! Pictures of our weekend will come as soon as we get batteries in our camera. I do have a very funny story though, and I'm very happy to say this happened to someone else. My friend Miren was at the Hiroshima Post Office. It's important to note that the postal system in Japan runs like a bank along with delivering mail. Well, as she's waiting there, she hears gun fire and all of the sudden men are jumping over the counter. Of course she is freaking out at this moment. She looks around and the other people in the bank look relatively calm, but that's to be expected in Japan. Then someone turns to her and says, "Practice!" and points to a sign. I guess there were huge signs up explaining that they were going to be having a mock robbery that day written all in Japanese of course. Can you believe it? They would have had to pick me up off the floor. Ahh the life of a foreigner.

Ha! That is awesome...it's good to have refreshers like that just to be sure everyone is on their toes, I suppose.
