First Aid Kit

Today was another riveting day at work of preparation.  I will say this though, we sat down and discussed the schedule for the rest of the summer and it's looking like it isn't going to be a very easy time for the next  couple of weeks...but I'm actually excited for it.  So much so, that I find myself in my spare time (riding my bike, taking a shower) going through what I want to say in my head.  Today, just now actually, the thought clicked in my head that what we're doing here is really such an incredible opportunity and I'm glad I didn't pass it up.

That being said, it rained today again and I still don't have a poncho.  I know you loyal readers out there are thinking I'm an idiot for it, but I just haven't had the time or the urge to go and get one.  However, I will be sure to get one soon because today I had wet pants for pretty much the entire day all the way down into the evening Japanese class (which was with a very funny, new teacher).  Today I learned a really interesting fact from one of my German classmates; in Germany, they are in fact required to hold a first aid kit in their car in case of emergencies and when you get you are license to drive you must be kind of first aide certified.

I told her that in America if we touch someone hurt that's a huge liability issue.

I don't know which is a better policy of keeping people alive, but I thought this was very interesting.

Also, after class I ate at a great Ramen place that I think is a chain.  No group picture, but there's enough pictures of me so I'm going to post a picture of the people who we ate with across the table.  Hope that's alright if any of you read this, I doubt you will.
