Last day in Japan!

In the morning my uncle had a school ceremony to attend, which is like an assembly on the first day, but they all go home afterwards.
We went to the hall which they all have their big events in. It's basically the gym, but with a stage at the front too.
They all started coming in, and Tim told us that they all had to change their shoes before entering the hall :s
Of course the all stared at me, mum and Gerard.
I loved their uniform though, they had a navy blue and green plaid skirt, ( which the teachers let them wear so that you can only just see them under their blazers. )Then they have one of those cute bows around the neck of their collar top. Then a grey jumper, long blue socks, and any sort of black shoes.
They also had to stand in lines for the whole assembly. When the principle came in, they bowed to him, and he said some stuff, and they all moved so they were standing with their legs apart and their hands behind their backs. I thought the whole thing was very organised.
We then returned to the apartment after talking to some of my uncles English students. They were really good!
Then came the sad part. We had to pack up the whole flat, because we were leaving that night. In the afternoon though, we took a train to Akihabara, to have a final afternoon tea out, when Tim got a phone call from Kim, and she offered to drive us to the airport.
So she did, and we went to have dinner, because the line for checking in was too long. We went to a nice buffet sort of place, when the nishinoes turned up. We had very cleverly chosen to eat before they got here, otherwise they would had paid for it all.
Yet again, they turned up with more presents. Another photo album, a photo frame, and a handmade purse. But for me, a Disney photo frame, a handkerchief, and a necklace.
I have also promised to write to Kazue.
After checking in, we said goodbye to Tim, and went through to customs and immigration.
Then through to the duty-free shops. Gerard got a Pokemon shirt, and I got a traditional Japanese hair piece.
Then onto the shuttle bus to the gate, and onto the plane.
It was a pretty good flight, there was a nice boy in front of me who had also been staying with family in Japan. We got the ipads again, the food was awful, and this time round we had some pretty bad turbulence.
