My host sisters came into my room at 10am and said we were leaving at 10.15. 15 minutes do get ready? No hope! After struggling to come to terms with the fact that the Japanese can sometimes be inefficient, I was out the front door, ready for this adventure. After a 15 minute walk and 2 trains, we arrived at cooking school. Our sensei told us by the end of the class we would have made a meal for Hinamatsuri. Otherwise known as 'girls festival.' It was an unforgetable experience.
