Sri Lankans Invade Hamamatsu

So last night, my host dad and I went to get a basket for my bicycle. My back hurts a bit from wearing the schoolbag on my back. Japanese schoolbags are NOT meant at ALL for wearing on the back; you're supposed to hold them like a purse. So I'm happy about that.
Today, I didn't go to school. I met three Sri Lankan students named Gog, Moley, and Wolfey. Don't worry, those aren't their real names. Those are nickames. They are here in Hamamatsu for two weeks as part of an Interact program.
So first we went to Hamamatsu Air Force Base and looked at the exhibits and did a flight similator and then watched an IMAX film about the base's acrobatic airplane team. Then we had ramen and gyooza (Chinese dumplings) for lunch. We were accompanied by Rotarians, but I had to act as their guide, interpret, and explain etiquette and such. Then we went to Hamamatsu Science Museum and then we went to Seien. Seien is an all-girl's school and that's where Shiori goes. So I requested to enter her class and we walk in and she has only a very small idea we're gonna be there today. Needless to say, she was quite surprised. It was really good to see her again, even though we were supposed to be there only to observe the class, so I could only exchange a few words with her. At the end of the class, we introduced ourselves and took a picture with the class. I also saw Shiori's best friend, Lisa, so that was good. We saw a bunch of other classes and then saw the mandolin club practice and then went to Interact Club and then we parted ways. It was a really fun day and I'll be hanging out with Gog, Moley, and Wolfey again tomorrow. We're going to the Suzuki Motor Factory and the Yamaha Music Instrument Factory.
