These are the travel arrangements from Mr Heimer: Thursday: 13:30 departure from genkan. Players will need to leave class at 13:20 during period 5, and meet in the genkan to take taxis to Shin-Osaka station. There will be 6 taxis, so 4 students in each taxi = about ¥1,150 per student. Graduates living near SOIS can take taxis with us, or meet us at Shin-Osaka station (in front of the central ticket gate) around 14:10. I need to know your plans in advance, so Mr Heimer can cancel some taxis if they are not needed. We are taking the Nozomi 109 shinkansen from Shin-Osaka at 14:25. From Shin-Iwakuni station we will take taxis to the MC Perry base. Again, with 4 students per taxi, it should cost around ¥900 per student. Please remember to bring your passport, otherwise you cannot get onto the base. You should also bring your insurance card in case of any injuries. |
On Saturday night we've booked a restaurant in Shin-Iwakuni so we can have dinner together before returning to Osaka. This will be the last chance for the team to be together with the seniors. The reservation is from 5:15pm at the Campagne Italian restaurant (menu here). We will have around 90 minutes for dinner before our shinkansen. |
