Today was the second day of the Igo tournament. There was a threat of it being cancelled because of the weather, but the weather held up until later in the day. I went 1 win 2 losses today. Not only was the Igo fun, but I was able to make a lot of new friends from different high schools, especially Taikyu and Chuou. One person from Taikyu actually knows how to speak English. He learned how by talking to the ALT, American Language Teacher, at his middle school, Overall it was a very fun tournament. I was also told about a shogi tournament in July called the National High School Ryu-ou (dragon king) tournament. It is a very big tournament, and there is a chance that I get to play in it. Afterwards I got on the train with Ounishi to go home. However the train stopped in the middle because of the bad weather. We were delayed about 15 minutes. At the train station my host grandmother came to pick me up. It was basically a white out, so she had to drive very slowly to get back home. I was exhausted after the tournament, so I took a nap until dinner.
