Gabu's Washimiyasai web post

The 11th of June, I and all the exchange students went to Sports Festival. We had to get up EARLY in the morning, some of us around 5 in the morning.

We [the international students] decided to meet at Akabane the same morning but it turned out that two of us were late and our group had to go through the travelling part ourselves. We took the Utsunomiya Line to the Higashi – Washinomiya station which would take around 1 hour. On the train we talked and Nicolas and Jesse tried to help me resolve the big mystery of the Rubik Cube [a Rubik's Cube is a puzzle where you have to move smaller squares around in order to make each side just one colour - Peter].

The train was packed so it was hard to move around and also the other two students tried to find us in this mess, but it was useless. It was also very hot in the train I think, I saw a lot of students that started sweating and getting a bit red in their face because the air was very thick. Then the worst thing that could actually happen occurred. The train stopped and the power was cut. Meaning air conditioners, lights went out leaving all the passengers in the train, in a heat that was indescribable. We had no other choice then to wait and after what at least felt like hours, the train started again and suddenly we arrived at the station and started walking to the fields!

Except the transportation there, the Sports Festival was a very funny day and I had a lot of fun. I found the dragging rope [tug of war] most fun because I thought that our class would be really bad at it but surprised ourselves and actually won against three other teams before losing!
