When that was finished we were free to do what we wanted until 7 pm. I got some curry for lunch and ended up running into someone for Alaska who had lived in Japan for 5 years and we got to talking. I took a train to Tokyo station, walked around a bit and found some last minute presents. I sort of wish I'd gotten more done but it was really nice to just walk around for a bit with no destination in mind.

Japan Day 9: JICA and Free Time
Our last official visit was to JICA which stands for Japan International Cooperation Agency. They are a government agency that sends volunteers, technical advisers, loans and grants to developing countries. One of their major projects right now has to do with education in Africa and other parts of the world. It was nice to learn a little bit about a government agency even if they act mostly independently.
