Jaye took a trip to Japan where they saw many sights including a grandmaster's house, mountains they hiked, Tokyo at night, and fireworks on New Year's Eve. Some highlights were a helicopter ride with beautiful views, clowns and costumes in Tokyo at night, and visiting the grandmaster's large and warm home as part of a tour group. Jaye enjoyed learning about Japanese culture and being immersed in the sights, sounds, and celebrations of the new year in Japan.
