"Fishing Trip"

So, last weekend I went on a "fishing trip" out into the mountains. I went with one of my JTEs (Japanese Teacher of English). I guess she teaches part time at an English school (schools were kids go after school or on weekends to learn English) and we were joining them for their camping outing.

The first activity was to catch fish with our bare hands. I was not so successful at this. Luckily the kids on my team were very very good (they caught 53 fish!!!). After we caught the fish we had to skewer them (I politely asked one of the fathers to do this for me) and then salt them and roast them. There was also a Malaysian family there, and they cooked Malaysian food. So there was quite a bit of tasty food for lunch.

After lunch there were some English games. My team won, and we all got candy!!! After the games, all of the 'foreigners' (there was also a man from Peru, a girl from Mexico, and a girl from Germany - so ironically I was the only native English speaker at the English "camp") were asked to sign autographs. I will definitely miss the "celebrity" part of being in Japan. I highly doubt people will stop me on the street to take photos or ask for my autograph when I go home.
