After the guests left on Saturday I went to work... this time I had to do a program for a group of 17 international and Japanese university students. In June they will run a camp for about 120 people so I was responsible for developing a good relationship between the members and also giving them some hints as to how they can make their camp run smoothly. Of course because this was a camp run in Japan they also had to make curry rice... a standard at any Japanese camp! Unfortunately it was a freezing night, but they all pulled together and managed to make some reasonable curry - mind you by 7:30pm in the freezing cold anything hot would have tasted fantastic!
Cooking the rice is always an art at a Japanese camp and the Japanese staff spent the first 20 minutes explaining how much water to put in the special pots, exactly when to stoke u
p the fire and then exactly when to take the rice off so that it is perfect - apparently when the water that is spurting out of the sides changes to the consistency of snot
(their words...) it is ready to take off the fire!
