We finished our Survival Series without a hitch! For our Mitsuwa Market Sweep, the Outgoing JETs were partnered with the Alumni and completed the Japanese Shopping Quest. They learned how to shop for Japanese ingredients, and we had time to share our Japanese experiences. The three teams (Kantou Gang, Shinjukucats, OnePunchSomething) did a good job in searching for the items, but the winner of the scavenger hunt was Kantou Gang I think it was that Poker Face that intimidated the rest of the teams.
