Nagano Part 2.

This is my summary of my trip to Nagano. It was from August 31st and we got back to Oyama on September 5th. I could write a detailed entry, but actually, it's a bit easier to do it in some organized bullet format. It could make it a pain to read, but in essence, it's not a wall of text (and I am going to use pictures when I can).

Kyudo Wise:
- On the third day there, I was able to use the real bow. Each day, the number of members that had to help me decreased by half. On the last day of practice I was able to draw it under my own strength.
-I found out a lot about myself mentally and physically from the experience. I learned that time is what is required to move past the limitations of one's body and mind.
- I found out much more information about my fellow club members and I will always remember those fun times had OUTSIDE of practice.

People Wise:
- I got to know a lot more about various people in the club.
- I absolutely rock at Jinga. Did not suffer a batsu game until the last night we were there, and we weren't even playing Jinga, we were playing the takenoko game with like 10 people. Inagawa sempai created the batsu game rules, and many (whom were already drunk) didn't understand them.
- I am an evil person in batsu games because I add things to make them worse (like adding 30% alcohol items to concoctions that people whom lose at batsu games have to drink, thereby making everyone drunk really fast.)
- The notion is, if you're already drunk and you're going to play batsu games, you're going to lose a LOT more.

Strange Wise:

-Apparently, I found the president's winter home here in Nagano.


-It comes with it's own Statue of Liberty (fuck yeah Coke represents America. You can find it in the deepest regions of the Amazon)


-I found Mikan pocky! It was so Delicious~!

-I went to an arcade at one of the other resort hotels and they had a 4th edition Beatmania machine (1999 folks) and a Take Me Higher (I think that was what it was named) basically a remodeled DDR machine. I played it and the game was very picky about timing, but I passed all the songs.

Anyway, I had a fun time, and I have lots of memories from it. Of course, like usual, if I don't immediately blog about them, I have less and less to actually put down in writing, but in other areas, I could tell stories.



(This is a rare photo in the sense it has everyone from kyudo club in it (minus Takahashi sempai because he left earlier).
