Amity Pom Pom Camp

Exactly as it sounds. Went with the pom dance gals to a club camp type thing. It was good fun! We stayed at a place that is designed for sports clubs to stay and practise for a few days. You get fed and you stay in big old rooms and there’s a beach nearby to let off steam and fireworks. I had a good time, but I definitely felt some outsidery third-wheel feelings. But it was nice of them to include me.

We stayed for three days, practised some dances, made up some silly ones for evening entertainment, and hung out as a club which was nice. In terms of photos, I think a big chunk of girls having fun will suffice! (It was WAY more innocent than I just managed to make that sound….)

Shuttle bus to the hostel!

Gorgeous area

On the way to the beach for the night

Sparkler fun

Cosy cosy

Relaxing

They fishtailed my hair!

Beach!

It says Amity if you look hard enough

Satisfying layers

No one else would come in the sea with me….

We took silly shots to see if anyone’s partner would get jealous…. because why not?

Very pretty house on the way to the beach

Entertainment evening. Silly dances made up by silly groups!

Julia and I did the Mean Girls Jingle Bell Rock skit, even though it was high summer… XD

Practising my jumps

Many humans in one room = many and unkempt shoes

slumber party!

All in all, quite a good few days! Boy was it boiling though.

I’m going to add an odd bonus day in here too; shortly after the camp I went on a meeting people mission. I managed to squeeze in a lunch and a dessert with Amyin Kichijouji, A butler cafe with Eriko, a spot of karaoke with the TUFSies, and a very drunken evening with a bunch of people in a new friend’s room!

Kichijouji, looking distinctly Japanese

This is where I had lunch with Amy; a random but funky rice bowl place

It felt very run down, but it sort of added to the charm.

Delicious grub, though!

Dessert time! Nana’s Green Tea. A pretty fancy place!

Naturally, purikura happened

This is the butler cafe. It was really interesting. You pay extortionate amounts for incredibly pretty food and waiters in tuxes. I’d give it a 6.5 out of 10.

Couldn’t get any more pictures before they caught me 😛

And another purikura!

Karaoke time with this fine human

And now the drunken evening… we were all kings this night.

Kings I tell you.

Crazy ones.

Thanks for reading this far! Only a couple more until this wonderful year abroad is at an end… stay tuned…
