I`ve been to Ushiku Daibutsu too....not!

Yesterday, we were supposed to go to Ushiku to see Daibutsu, the world`s largest statue of Bhudda. I had bought my Sony Handycam Camcorder specially for this trip and fifteen of us turned up at Tsukuba Station but to our dismay, Naoki had an outdated bus schedule with him and we found out that only bus bound for Ushiku had already left!

Disappointed, the group split and some of us went to Tsukuba Botanical Garden to kill some time. We hung around for around an hour before returing back to our dorms.

At 7pm we met again, this time it was only Jurate, Naoki and Sato and me; we first went for dinner at a Chinese restaurant near Hirasuna and later, we went to Karaoke and spent two hours there.

From there, we went to Cyberex, an amusement center in Tsukuba and played pool and table tennis. Jurate teamed up with Naoki against Kristina and I and although they defeated us in the first two rounds, we were victorious in the 5th game. We then played table tennis till 1.30am and then returned.

We`ll go to Ushiku Daibutsu next Saturday....hopefully.
