A Comprehensible Affection: Last Day in Takayama

The last day in Takayama was unforgettable. All of us violated the rules by staying up late instead of getting into our beds by 10 o'clock. We cherished the moment by chatting, playing, taking pictures and some even started dancing in the living room next to our dorm. The head of the Norikura Youth Friendship Center was willing to close an eye on our undisciplined behavior as we would be meeting our respective host families on the following day. I ended up sleeping for only 2 hours.
