Some of you have been curious what our diets have been like here in Japan. While touring Tokyo and neighboring cities, we ate like kings: lots of foreign food, variety of taste, and plenty of nutritional value.
It is a little bit different here at the Jamboree site. We asked some of the boys to describe the food we've been eating; their responses should paint the picture for you.
"Bread"
"Bread"
"Bread"
"High in carbohydrates"
"Rice"
"Bread"
"Chicken soup for the soul"
"Japanese"
"Weird"
"Non Mormon-mom cooking"
"Ehh"
"Bread"
We do indeed eat a lot of bread. Definitely more that any of us have eaten in our lives. We also eat pasta, rice, vegetables, some fruit, and meat when we can get it.
We have all become very fond of a certain Gatorade-type drink called Pocari Sweat. We recently discovered that we can buy it at the Jamboree in quantities of 1.5 liters.
The food here is nothing to celebrate about, but it does not dampen our fun. In fact, it gives us an opportunity to impress our dinner guests with creative dishes.
Yesterday we spent the day at the beach playing games and enjoying the water. The boating we did to conclude the day was a highlight for everyone.
At a rest stop during the bus ride out to the beach we played Frisbee with a bunch of Swiss girls from the neighboring bus.
