Tent trial

What do you do when you've bought a new tent but have no backyard to try it out in? Take it to the nearest grassy place to put it up. And no, that wasn't a park. There are few parks with grass in Japan and none near us. The grassy place we found was a small strip on CAJ's grounds. 

This tent is smaller than our previous one and won't fit all five of us, so we have to find another one for the overflow. We had one given to us, and tried putting it up this afternoon too. We're glad we did, it's not "roadworthy". So . . . second-hand stores, here we come.

This is almost all the grass that CAJ has and students don't come out here, but it was a perfect place to try out the tent.
