I believe my new hobby of geocaching will prove to be one of the best I could have for this adventure. I have already gone on 3 geocaching outings, and each time my friends and I have discovered really cool places we never would have found otherwise. The first time we found a cache near an interesting sake pickle shop. They had some pretty weird looking pickles in that shop (some of them disturbingly anatomical-like). On another day we found a cache at a sake museum and shop complete with free samples. It wasn't bad at all and the shop was charming. There was a cache near where we went for the hanami, but we couldn't find it. The best thing about this hobby is that I have a GPS. I have set my first waypoint as my house, and the second one as my school. That way I don't have to rely on 1) L'Shawn (my neighbor and co-worker)2) my lousy sense of direction 3) my terrible Japanese to ask directions or 4)all the mysterious signs written in Japanese. I can just pull out my little machine and head in the right direction.
I have included some pictures of the first caches we found.
