Nagoya, Numazu, Hate speech

On Thursday, Otousan and I went to Nagoya. In the morning, I had a admissions interview with a Columbia alum. I think it went well. Then we went to Nagoya Castle, Atsuta Shrine, and a Japanese garden. IT was really, really fun!
Saturday, Addison and I went to Numazu for the international skills olympics. We figured out the trains all by our lonesome... yay. There we met Kathi and Melina and then Vanessa, from Canada, for the first time. GOOD TIMES GOOD TIMES. Ahh hahaha it was so amazingly fun. Ah hahahahahahahhahaa.
Today i hung out downtown with Kei and Chihiro and Josefa and Addison. Good TIMES. More good times...
Then at night, there was a van patrolling downtown, broadcasting hate messages against foreigners. It was really, really, really disturbing and really frightening. Like seriously. So me, Josefa, and Addison ran after the van screaming at the top of our lungs and giving the peace sign. We figured, like (I think it was) the Apostle Paul said, that It's better to fight hate with love. (Do not overcome evil with evil, but overcome evil with good.) But it's a very rare occurence to see those vans, but today there was two or three going around downtown. Did I mention it was really scary? Chihiro and Kei had left because they had to study for exams so it was just me, Addison, and Josefa. We tried to ask Japanese people what the announcements were; they wouldn't even look at us when we tried to get their attention. But we figured what they were saying because my host sister had alreayd told me about them, and we understood words like "foreigner" "America" "Japanese." and lots of negative words, like "don't learn" "don't understand." It was so friggin scary. You walk down the street when the hate messages are playing and nobody looks at you and avoids your glance. But anyway, it's like 4 people in the entire country who think like that and Japanese people are generally extremely welcoming and hospitable to foreigners.
