A particular success was the purchase of several prayer candles to be lit in the hope of specific outcomes. Jo has since pledged herself to Buddhism after the prompt fulfilment of her ‘find employment’ candle. We were nearly as impressed with the architecture of the vast, futuristic Kyoto train station from which we caught the Shinkansen back to Tokyo at the end of the day. Tokyo Again Arriving back into Tokyo shortly before midnight, we had a specific goal in mind: to be the first ESU team to actually make it to the 4 am tuna auction at Tsujiki market. After an all too brief nap, we set off in the dark, in quest of fish. The auction itself was a loud and bustling way to wake up, but by the time we sat down to our sushi breakfast, none of us could possibly regret the morning. We all agreed it was some of the best food we had ever eaten and it set us up well for a spot of last minute sightseeing and shopping in Shibuya. Finally, we headed to our last appointment at the Japan Professional School of Education in Yotsuya. Here, we faced each other one last time over the motion ‘This House Would reduce school holidays from 40 days to 20 days’ after a crash course in the issue by Mr Okada. We also ran exercises introducing the concept of debating to around 20 trainee teachers and attempted to show how arguing in English could be usefully deployed in the classroom. We made our final farewells with our amazing ESUJ hosts and managed to squeeze in a few more glasses of umeshu before we left the country, all of us determined to return soon. 1.
