Today we went to Abuta and my back was killing me along with toothache. I was in pain the whole day and therefore was not in any mood to spend time with little kids. I tried my best but honestly the morning wasn't great and I was just counting down the hours.

Then we got our first free time in Abuta in two weeks so we got most of the supplies we needed. Then we had to try to understand what some of the Japanese people at the Abuta office wanted, turns out they wanted us to be Santas. 

Lastly it was the Abuta after school club which was surprisingly fun. My pain had subsided a little so I was in a better mood. We also ended in a game of dodgeball that was 4 v 8.

Then we headed home which was confusing as we’d been told for a few days about some vague lesson we’d have to teach but nothing ever happened with it.

Onsen was today's first location. Helping out at one of the nurseries for the second time. This time was better. We got to play with the children in the snow, breaking icicles, building snowman, snowball fights.

Then it was off to Abuta where we bought some supplies. Then we bumped into the American JET volunteer. She was obviously bothered by the election so she vented to Liem (because he actually knows the first thing about politics), while I went to the store up the hill to look for some things. 

Then it was the after school club. It was okay -_-
