Ikata Overseas Student Delegation's Twin Cities Tour
[edit]
Monday, August 9th
- Depart Red Wing for Minneapolis
- Plans to see the Science Museum, State Capitol, Cathedral, and James J. Hill House in St. Paul changed due to oppressively hot weather and a theft we experienced at our first bus stop in the city.
- We contacted the police and gave them the details of the incident. They gave us a case number and took our contact information, but unfortunately were unable to turn up the thief.
- As a group, we decided to spend a leisurely three hours at the Science Museum.
- In the evening, we met members of the U of M's Japan Student Association and had a fun Q&A with them before dinner together at the Loring Pasta Bar.
