The Amazing Race

We drank and drank, until finally we realized the time and said our farewells. Karla and Toby were leaving bright and early to head up to Tokyo to finish there training. The split was happening and all of us that were left behind were scared of the concentration of Big B, we would have to endure!
Our third day of training was on it's way. It had already felt like an eternity, what more could another week and a half bring to us!?

Bright and early the next day we had a change of location. All we were given at the end of our last training session was yet again another crumpled map with vague directions on where we were to be. Being the keeners we were, we arose at a ungodly hour to make sure we could find this 'secret location.' The directions went like this, which is a lot more difficult from our internetless apartment:

Take a train from (x station, which wasn't ours) on this line. Then change over at this station to y line and get off at z. Then take bus w to bus stop v then walk down till you see a bicycle shop, turn left continue until you see an old Japanese man sitting on the curb then answer the question to reveal your next move (ok I took the last part from "The Amazing Race" but it was getting ridiculous and as if they didn't want us to find this 'other' location).

Were we on an undercover episode of "The Amazing Race?" our map and directions sure made us question that! The time was ticking and the sweat was pouring down our faces. Brenda, Merran, Robin and I were also erupting nonsensical drama, due to our stress. "Do you really need to breathe so hard?!" "Why is this happening to us?" "Who am I and where am I supposed to go?" were the types of conversations going down, making for a brilliant spin-off of this hit TV series, if you ask me! Commentary begins: Four young girls trek out into the depths of suburbia to find a random classroom, to teach and bring English into this world. There were no cameras that were seen and no paycheck to follow once we reached our next checkpoint, the bus station.
