Today we were celebrating the birthday of America's first leader, George Washington.The commodore threw a big celebration. There was music playing and there was a salute of guns.Naruse even said we should dress formally and express our congratulations, but not everyone felt that was necessary. Then Morita asked me what I thought we should do and I simply said "Ask the captain." And so they did. Thankfully we didn't have to dress up and was told we can express adulation in an casual manner. We were suppose to celebrate yesterday, but the weather was definiently not on our side. So we had to wait until today to celebrate because, one, the weather was nice, and two, its still the twenty-third of February on this side of the date line it is actually litterally, exactly one day later than it is right now in Japan. It is kind of weird having the twenty-third of February twice in one year.

the salute guns were unneccessary but it made everything seem nicer and more relaxing
ReplyDeleteI thought the salute of guns was the most interesting part of George Washington's birthday celebration!
