We went to the Diet. No, I did not say that we went ON a diet, but we went TO the Diet in the capital city of Tokyo. That's what the Japanese call their government and their government building. It's like when our 5th graders go to the Capitol building in Washington, D.C. Their Diet is made up of a House of Counselors (like our Senate) and a House of Representatives. We can't seem to get away from elections, political posters, and speeches. It is election time now in Japan for some House of Representatives positions, so we see lots of posters and hear speeches from loudspeakers on vans traveling the roads.
