Today, on August 12, Team USA had many events planned for them! They started the day off at Monkey Mountain (Takasakiyama) and saw many monkeys – for many members, it was their first time seeing so many monkeys up close. Next, they took a flower arranging class and were able to arrange their own flowers! A Team USA flower arranging competition was held, with Julia hailing as the winner. Afterwards, Team USA took another class on calligraphy, in which they were able to write a word of their choosing and they each received a calligraphic pen. Tonight, they have one more event planned for them: a dinner at Otte e Sette Oita, where they will wrap up their day by enjoying plenty of great food!
