Mission: Save fishes!

There was a big place called Campus. We cleaned this big circle Campus for the community festival. In the middle of the Campus, there was a small fountain. We were given a task! Throw water inside the fountain with a bucket. I didn´t know why I had to do this job. Almost 10 people carried water buckets in turn for over two hours. When I could see the bottom of the fountain, I found the purpose of this job. There were a few fishes inside fountain(finally we found two small fishes). We cleaned the Campus with soap and washed with water, then the dirty and chemical water went down to the fountain. So they wanted to save fishes! I was very impressed. For two small fishes, 10 people worked for more two hours. How beautiful it is!

Nude sauna

We started working from 8:30am and had a break time 11am. We took a rest near community pool. For the break time, people took off their clothes and swam in the nude. It was so natural, I didn´t feel any sexual feeling. They sat or lay down in the nude and enjoyed sun, took a rest. I felt freedom. I wanted to join the naked swimming, I couldn´t. I was shy, didn´t have courage.

There was a sauna in community. After working, volunteer group went to sauna. I wanted to meet other community people, so I didn´t want to go there. But, every members of the community were very busy to prepare for their festival, I couldn´t ask interview. Then one of our coordinators suggested me to talk in sauna. So I went to sauna. After I entered the sauna, I was embarassed. Men and women shared a bathhouse and a dressing room. But I couldn´t go back, I wanted to interview her. Fortunately(?) I was late, so most people were already inside the sauna, only one American guy was with me. Oh my godness! I did take shower with him before I went to saunar! I was sooo shy....-.- I did quickly and then wore a towel around my body. In sauna, nobody used a towel except me. Everbody were naked and so natural.. so I looked funny.

I was surprised that the nude were so natural and made me have a feeling of freedom. And I realized that I wasn´t free about body and sexuality. I want to be free,,,, I´ll try to open... slowly... step by step..
