Having so much fun lately. We went to the opening ceremony yesterday which was so much fun. Most of the time me and the whole of the unit were chanting all the way there and all the way back to camp. But the most important thing is that I am currently up at 5:00 up a massive scaffolding pole trying to get wifi which is pretty cool because I can see the hole of my sub camp from here, but on the other hand me and my friend Frankie thought it was a good idea to go on a run of the hole camp site, but underestimated the size of the camp and had to get the bus neck to camp which took us half and hour!!!!!!!!

Stupidly I don't know how this happened but I have the flag upside down.

Me on the first day thinking it was a good idea to carry my bag like this for the whole way to the camp, wrong. It was so heavy I thought it was going to cut my arms off and them remembered it had wheels.

HOHO

Day 2 of HOHO. and it is sadly my last day but I could of asked for a better day, we went to shopping mall in the morning and also had lunch there, which was very kindly provided by the family (noodles and prawns). After lunch we went to a castle with family and saw a couple of the other people from our unit also at the castle, for them it was like a museum, after that we crossed over the road to a small shop where we made a little box which is what they drink out of. The box is made out of wood and and is only small and in the side it a stamp of the castle's name which I can't and never will be able to pronounce. After that we went to a hyper market which was huge. Then we went home because everyone was falling a sleep in the car and had dinner, dinner was really nice because we had a mixture of fish and rice. Tomorrow is when we go on the bullet train😀.

Tomorrow we are going to visit their version of a church. Here are some photos of the journey.

    ​"One of our Scouts, Dan, has won a place at the 2015 Jamboree - all the way over in Japan! Dan is going to keep us up to date with his progress on this page as he works towards the trip - he has to raise some of the money himself so we're sure you'll get behind him - it's a great honour for the Group and, of course a fantastic experience for Dan himself."
