Carissa's Exploits and Fabulous Adventures




Japan Round Two

Tuesday, October 08, 2002

Today we went to a Nursing home on a field trip. It was interesting, although very similar to American Nursing homes. I met a woman who is 103 years old. She was pushing herself around in a wheel chair. I want to be able to push myself when I am 103. It was really incredible. I think she is probably the oldest person I have ever met.

Sunday (I forgot to mention this) we went to Sumo. It was very exciting. There isn't much to explain about Sumo, it is fat men who try to push eachother out of a ring. But there is a lot of ceremony and tradition that goes along with sumo that you don't see on television. There was even a dance performance.
