Tuesday (9/26) we went to Yokohama to sign up for the PSAT. When we bought our plane tickets, we did not realize until after, that our trip overlapped with the test date. Mom and Dad scrambled to try and find a school that would allow us to test with their students. Luckily, we found St. Maur International School in Yokohama, that said that we were more than welcome to come to their school to take the test. Today was sign up day.
On our walk from the train station, we walked under a cool metal sculpture,
and found a cemetery for the British soldiers that lived in Japan. It was sobering to read the soldiers names, and how and when they died.
The boys found a time machine,
and we saw a cool archery range, with some men in traditional Japanese clothing using some super long bows.
We arrived at the school over an hour before our appointment time, so we explored the surrounding area a bit. It was super hot, so we convinced our parents to buy us ice cream.
The appointment went well. The man was very kind, and the sign up process was painless. When we were finished, we decided to stop by China Town for dinner.
I found two stores entirely devoted to pandas, and Mom saw a panda café. I have a dear friend, who loves pandas, and I made the boys explore the stores with me, in honor of her.
This made me sad, though I am sure they would taste good 😛
Dinner was delicious, particularly for the boys, since us girls made them starve while we window shopped.
As a treat, Dad bought us bubble tea. YUM!

Perhaps the metal sculpture is a phoenix in flight?
Yes, I believe it is. It is one of my favorite sculptures that we have seen here 🙂
