Earth Tourism, Tuesday 5th period

[unusual_sith]

"Today," Lana announced when everyone was at Portalocity, "we're going to Japan. It's a really interesting place; we've been there on trips before with the school. It's a country on the opposite side of the world from where we are now, composed of a large number of islands, though not as water-based as Venice.

"We don't have enough time to take in even a fraction of it, of course, but we'll be going to the capital city, Tokyo. Specifically, to Senso-ji Temple, which is the oldest religious site in the city, dating back almost fourteen centuries. It's supposed to be quite lovely, and a good example of Japanese tradition. As an added bonus, there are plenty of shops and food places nearby."

Their portal arrived, and Lana ushered them through onto a bustling plaza.

Tokyo! Enjoy the traditional architecture and interesting temple, or go eat and shop!

Yukari's nose wrinkled and she made a disapproving face.

This wasn't new and exciting! She'd been here before! She was from here!

Although....

"If anyone needs a translator," she then said, face brightening cheerfully with the stroke of brilliance, "I'll be happy to offer my services for free drinks later!"

CHarlie grinned at her. "I've got a translator charm that should make sure I can understand people and they can understand me, but I haven't tried it out with Japanese yet. The design is solid, but I'll happily buy you drinks later if you help me test it out!"

Arden knew what she really wanted out of today's adventure: ramen. Real ramen. So was she scouting around looking for a ramen place while admiring everything else?

Hell yeah.

Talk to Lana!

[unusual_sith]

She's here!

"Excuse me, professor?" Arden asked at one point. "Do you know if, uh, you'll be teaching this next session, too?"

Re: Talk to Lana!

[unusual_sith]

"Lana is fine," Lana corrected her. "Or Miss Beniko, if you like. And I was considering it, though I hadn't decided yet. Did you have a request?"

"Well, I've been really enjoying our class..." Arden said, digging her toe in the ground. "And, I mean, if you wanted to teach something else or didn't want to teach at all, of course you should do that, but um. If you were thinking about running this class specifically...I would take it again."

Re: Talk to Lana!

[unusual_sith]

Lana smiled. "I've been enjoying it, too. I see no reason not to teach it, unless I think of something better. And I'm perfectly happy to take suggestions, too; I'm as much of a tourist as anyone, after all."

OOC!

Today's class brought to you by me being braindead and asking Mom where she'd want to go.
