If financial and universal planning works out as it should, GTSTA will be going to Japan together over the summer! We will try our best and hope our endeavors will be fruitful!

Surprising Japanese Food and Conversation - GTS Trio Makes New Friends & Assoc.
On Friday evening, the whole gang decided to go for some 回転寿司 at a restaurant Chibi heard about in Geneva. Luckily, we got lost and the Japanese restaurant we wound up going to wasn't a 回転寿司 place at all.
But this was more than okay! One of the employees behind the sushi bar, where we were seated, started speaking to us and after GTSTA displayed polite Japanese pre-eating etiquette, he began to ask us how we knew about いただきます and such things. ^_^
He and another employee, both from Japan, started to talk with us while we ate delicious sushi, tofu, and udon things. And we were treated to free desserts of cream puffs, whipped cream, cold pear slices, and chocolate syrup!! Also, as a prize for displaying our origami skills, we were given the most delicious sushi-shaped lollipops to take home with us!
GTSTA left full and joyous. Hooray for happy accidents, ne. <3

GTS Trio & Assoc. Go Apple Picking!
On Saturday Oct. 4th, members of the GTS Trio and Assoc. went on an apple picking adventure hosted by my (M-Flo's) mother's company. We spent hours picking among 3 types of apples and in that time, took almost 400 pictures! If you are friends with any of the GTS Trio and Assoc. members on Facebook, you can peruse the 7 albums documenting our time there <3
We had a full day of exciting fun, most of us running on less than 3 hours of sleep from the night before.
After apple picking, our group went for a quick run to Mitsuwa for tea, matcha parfait, stickers and idol magazines.
There is a new store in Mitsuwa, where the figurine/model shop used to be. It sells various kinds of kitchen-ware, ceramic tea sets, and for the more clumsily-inclined - plastic eatingware too!
It should be mentioned that 2 or 3 of the members of GTS Trio and Assoc. are making plans to move in together to the city and the reasonable prices and appealing aesthetics of the merchandise found might lead to several purchases in the near future. That way, many visitors will be able to come and drink tea with us!
