students ham it up.

Several
groups went to Nara where they probably saw these (or other) deer. These
deer roam Nara park freely and are protected by the city. Visitors can
feed them Deer Osenbei (crackers made just for deer).
This
building, Todaiji, was one of the main destinations for the NP:J groups
that went to Nara.The largest seated Buddha (in Japan) is housed in this
building.

Thomas
Edison students exchange their US money to Japanese yen at the hotel.
Thomas
Edison students peruse the postcard rack. Did anyone back home receive
one of these?
A
Thomas Edison student crawls through a hole in a pillar at Todaiji. It
is said that if one can successfully squeeze through this hole, your wish
will be granted. I suppose I'd wish just to be able to get through and
not get stuck!
Groups
can purchase a roof tile, paint their names on it, and have it replace
broken tiles. This tile will stay on Todaiji for as long as the building
(and tile) exist!
Here
is the finished tile!
