What! Another stowaway! No wonder my luggage was so heavy. Waddles ran away from home in Mrs. Scott's class and sneaked into my jacket pocket. He is struggling with his chopsticks at meals just like I am! He seems to be having fun in the mountains where we are now because it is so much cooler than Macon. Did you know that Japan is over 75% mountains, and the islands are always moving a tiny bit? It's because of the plates deep inside the earth. The plates keep moving, pushing together, causing earthquakes, volcanoes, and mountains. We can't feel the movement now, but the people surely do when there is an earthquake, and those happen frequently. Sometimes we feel a little bit dizzy in our hotel, and our guide said it's because our hotel is on rollers so that it can handle the earth's movement better. It must be rolling a bit when we are feeling dizzy. (I heard that! You just said, "COOL!")
