Some pictures tell a story, but this story is hidden and probably not what you would think of when you see this picture.

My exchange group had been buy seeing the sites of Tokyo and we had just gotten back to our hotel. As I was sitting in the guys room with my friend Jerry and Naomi, as well as our chaprone, Jason, the sky opened up and started pouring like the gods were angry. We were looking down from our window when Jason said, "I will give you 100 dollars if someone would stick their head in the Koi Pond and do baywatch (head flip turn, run slowly)" Well me and Naomi were out the door in a flash with Jerry in tail. (We had been beting throught the trip and this was one bet that we would actually follow through.) So we ran all the way through the lobby, trying to ignor the bellboy handing out unbrellas and breavly walked out into the rain. Then waiting for the bewildered bell boy to leave us Naomi stuck her head in (the koi all around trying to eat her hair) did the hair flip and ran back upstairs, I then put my head in the pond....it smelled disusting and the Koi were sucking at my head. I then ran up. Briefly I took a glance at Jerry who had his head in the pond too. Now we reach Jason's room to find him in utter shock. He had watched the whole thing from the window. We then demanded our money but he cheaped us by giving us all 10 dollars each since he couldn't afford 300 dollars. But hey it was an intresting memory...kinda like the koi smell we each had for a few days.

I took this picture a day before the great Koi Pond story but still, it reminds me of those crazy times in Tokyo.
