Sakai-zemi Class Trip 20-21

I left yesterday morning with just a backpack for my trip to Himeji with my friends, seniors and the professor of one of my seminars. I left a little ahead of schedule because I didn't want to miss the train. I ended up going ahead all the way to Himeji-eki with my friends who helped organise the trip.

Yesterday was mostly business. The seniors were presenting what they thought they wanted to do for their graduation thesis and we all just listened and gave comments here and there. This went on from 1.30pm to 6pm. We had a breathers between the presentations and a 10-minute break in between, but I still can't believe we stayed 4 and a half hours discussing.

At night, we 2nd-yrs were in charge of activities so we decided to have our version of the quiz show: Hexagon! (And I got to be one of the MCs!)

This group won the first round! (They're showing their prizes in their mouths LoL - chocolate)

They all ended up liking the game so much they went for another round (even though we didn't have any prizes left!). And even after we all went and came back from the onsen everybody went and gathered in the boys' room to play bingo. At first we all played for prizes, but then when those ran out, we played instead for stories(?). Whoever got bingo had to answer any question the previous winner asked and then make a question of their own for the next 'winner'. Of course the questions were like "When did you have your first kiss?" or... when the professor got bingo they asked him how he proposed to his wife, and then they asked stuff like "Who would you never had become friends with had it not been for Sakai-sensei's seminar?" or the 2nd most irritating person in class. The 2nd most terryfying in class. And stuff. It did get pretty interesting but then once it hit 1am everybody was lying on the floor sleeping. LoL

I had the key to the girls' room so I 'led' the ones who were already half-asleep back to the room - and then when I went back to the boys' room... I must have been gone for only 10 minutes but everybody was wide awake and noisy again. .......In some way I don't really get these people. But I stayed anyway till 3am and then went back to the room to sleep. Everybody else slept around 5am. It was so unbelievable when they actually managed to wake up the next morning for breakfast. We had to leave at half-past 10 too.

Well. That's all of Himeji for now. I expect I'll be going again with Mom and Azzi. After all that we went for lunch! Look at the parfaits these people are eating!

Ginga with his. Yes. He was very happy.

I realise there's something blocking part of the pick but try to pick out the parfait on the right side... the huge one. 4 people shared it.
I didn't have any parfait.... I think I kinda got full just looking at them....
As it is! I'm going to Tokyo tomorrow night. Hahaha... my February has only just begun.
Btw- I took all these pics from my phone (^_^)
