Sorry - no student bloggers again. It's 11.30pm and the boys are in bed after our Tour Dinner, getting their rest before our last game on tour, and for our Year 12 boys, their last game in Grammar colours.
Our first stop today was Odaiba - it's a massive shopping complex. Again, the yen was extremely hot in the boys pockets and burnt its way through in many cases. The big eye openers were the Venus Fort shopping mall, that has a ceiling with a fake sky, where the clouds move and the light changes. The Venus Fort also allows dogs inside - so their owners can walk them, or wheel them in their purpose-built dog strollers, to the dog shops, which are packed with doggy clothes and accessories.
After some astute (?!?) purchases, we headed home to don our formal gear for the dinner. Thank you gifts were exchanged and awards were presented to the boys for.......... ah, what goes on tour, stays on tour! Toutai Kefu dropped in briefly to chat with the boys, and share some of his Wallaby and Japanese experiences.
The boys are determined to account well tomorrow. Again, we are playing one of the top schools in Japan, so we will have to be better than our last two outings to come away with the points.
Slight change of plans with our pre-flight activities on Monday, but I'll let the boys fill you in as we wait for our flight Monday evening.
Boys are very upbeat and looking forward to tomorrow, but are also looking forward to touching down in Brisbane. If you are looking for a tip for Tuesday's dinner - steak would be a good start, and leave the rice in the canister in the cupboard.
Cheers,
TW
