On The Road Again

We are on the bus headed to Kitakata. The bus came straight to our hotel and so this is pressure free travel as we do not need to carry and drag our bags up and down staircases as we switch from train  to train to subway to get to our destination. We can just sit back and relax. The bus even has Karaoke on it, but only a few English songs.

This is Smith Sensei with one of our drivers and you can see the other driver in the bus. This is a huge bus and everyone can have two or more seats!

On the bus, Sensei  remembered the bus will go by Utsunomiya which is better known as Gyoza Town. Here is an interesting link if you want to know more: http://www.cnngo.com/tokyo/eat/utsunomiya-gyoza-town-200431

Sensei is seated with Meghanne and is holding the special which includes 12 different kind of Gyoza. There is one with shrimp, one with mushrooms, one with cheese, etc.

Haley and I are posing by the stone gyoza outside the restaurant.

We are back on the bus now. It is 2 pm Japan time on Monday and we have about 2 hours left to get to Kitakata. Everyone is excited to meet their host families.
