      Arround Yamaguchi

      May 28, 2020 in Japan ⋅ ☀️ 21 °C

      This guy, I forgot his name and lost his contact, he showed me around Yamaguchi prefecture and invite me to a dinner with his grandparents. After that he offered me a bed to spend the night, which is quite surprising in Japan. For the record he was born the same day and same year as me..Read more

      Day 30: Floating Torii

      April 15 in Japan ⋅ ☁️ 15 °C

      Itsukushima (the island popularly known as Miyajima) and its shrine with the famous floating Torii (gate). It was so inspiring that each one of us expressed himself in different ways in front of it 😂 An island full of deers moving freely around tourists. Did you know that they like eating Sakura flowers? By chance in the rainy afternoon we ended up in a ryokan facing the famous Kintai Bridge (錦帯橋, Kintai-kyō), an historical wooden arch bridge, in the city of Iwakuni, beautiful!Read more

      Hagi

      March 25, 2014 in Japan ⋅ ⛅ 18 °C

      Heute fuhren wir weiter nach Hagi. Unterwegs mussten wir aber den Zug aufgrund einer technischen Störung verlassen und wurden von einem Reisebus abgeholt.

      Als wir endlich in Hagi angekommen sind, hat es so sehr geregnet, dass wir nur einen kurzen Spaziergang gemacht haben und diese lustigen Blumen gesehen haben.

      Am Abend assen wir in einem sehr guten Fischrestaurant.      Read more

      Community Day with Gleision

      August 4, 2015 in Japan ⋅ 🌙 23 °C

      Waking up at 5am and being typically inches from being late we, Gleision, embarked on our 3 hour journey to our first activity. Due to our hour long toilet breaks this took its toll but still we were all either quaking in our sweaty shoes or extremely excited for...THE BUG DOME!

      On discovering The Giant Japanese Killer flying scarab, Jon the fearless ran miles. Quickly followed by the rest of the patrol out of the frying pan and into the fire, or in this case out of the bug museum into the open air exclosure, where we met marvels next big blockbuster, Beatle Boy.

      As we attended to Adam's constant barrage of exclamation due to the numerous Beatles defacating on his hat. An adorable Japanese boy walked in with his family instantly capturing what Japan is all about by donning a whole six scarab, a number of which but inches from his face. Of course watching the whole patrol jump with fear, laughed and continued to laugh and enjoy the experience.

      After refuelling with salty chips from the local bug museum canteen, it was time to travel another ten minutes to the local town hall, where we appreciated a play to God's depicting a story from Japanese mythology. Orochi, eight headed snake had killed all but one of their children after plotting with princess the brother of the Sungoddess poisons the snake with a poisoned stake. Once defeated the beast retrieves the Treasure Sword of Heaven from the tail.

      On giving this sword to his sister he accepted back into heaven and got the princess.The accompanied by percussion and traditional Japanese singing it was a very gripping experience.

      After a very filling launch we concluded our community day with multiple work shops at Hagi Junior School rounding from origami to traditional Japanese toys.

      Having truely experienced Japanese culture it was time to head back to the bus for our 3 hour drive back.

      Closing Ceremony!

      August 8, 2015 in Japan ⋅ ☀️ 30 °C

      We are all currently sat next to one of the two domes in the shade, with two hours to kill before we have to depart on a bus which will take us to a train station. From here, we will catch a bullet train to Tokyo for the last leg of our journey. We're all very sad that we have to leave the Jamboree site behind us but we all have new friends and great memories because of it.

      Yesterday was a day of dropping tents and packing up which everyone found incredibly tedious but there was one point before the evening was upon us where everyone was enjoying themselves. As I'm sure you are aware our leaders have worked very hard for the last 18 months making sure we have a very enjoyable, smooth and memorable Jamboree and through any troubles we or they may have had, they managed to pull it off. To say thank you we paid the Hungarian food house to bake a cake for 40 for us and also wrote down a little message of thanks to the leaders and put them in a UK contingent water bottle. The leaders were all emotional but they deserved it and once again on behalf of the KD's I'd like to thank all of the leaders for being amazing. We couldn't have hoped for any better!

      Later on in the evening was the closing ceremony. It was enjoyed by all and saw the handing over of the Jamboree to North America where it will be held in 2019. It also saw some high profile guests from within Scouting, Japanese parliament and the UN talk to us about various issues and how we can change the world in enjoyable, inspirational lectures. The closing ceremony was great except for one element... the entertainment. There were two artists that are apparently big in Japan. The first was called C-UTE and were very hyperactive. I don't think any of us enjoyed it immensely but none of us could have expected what came next. There was an American artist (who lives in Japan) called Marty Friedman who came on with his band. The Swiss next to us enjoyed them but I think they're the only ones. In fact, Gwyn believed that "Marty Friedman exemplifies the contents of Pandora's box" along with many other statements about him. Even though the music didn't appeal to all of us, the closing ceremony was still very good and we will all remember it fondly.      Read more

      Silence, song and change!

      August 6, 2015 in Japan ⋅ 🌙 28 °C

      We woke up late this morning as we had a free morning. Some spent it swapping badges, others spent it resting but we all came together for one point. Today was a very important day as it's the 70th anniversary of the atomic bomb being dropped on Hiroshima and the small town we are living in had a silence to remember. You could've heard a pin drop.

      After that we all departed to the dome to partake in a suprise the leaders had for us. They, on behalf of the head of the UK contingent, had been nominated to perform in the dome. We were very nervous when we started a round of it's not unusual which we must have nailed as all of the crowd were cheering.

      Following on from this, we went to the Global Development Village where we learnt how to improve the world. In particular, I learnt about how stereotypes can affect the way we see people and can affect us negatively. I think we all learnt something important that can help us and others.

      Then we had free time where some carried on swapping badges like this morning and some spent it resting which yet again was similar to this morning. Then we came to tea time where one of our patrols had prepared a meal for us. Despite their lack of confidence in their culinary ability, the chefs did an excellent job. Now we're enjoying the end of our last day of activities before the closing ceremony tommorow evening.      Read more
