were so excited, and ate unbelievable amount of meat.

We stayed at Tokyo Grand Palace Hotel. Each room had two neat beds, and was quite heimish, quiet
and large enough. Two students entered each room, and got two breakfast ticket.
It was such a quiet and beautiful night in Tokyo.

SECOND DAY

We had a nice breakfast at seven o’clock. Many boys and girls went to downstairs to have meal. At that
time, fortunately a graduated senior who have left to Japan visited us. Many students wanted to ask
