Show KITTY NAKAGAWA, MARI EIJIMA, JEAN KARIYA #1 plenty of sun and I rather envied that, because we were never to see sunlight for the few months we were there. It was a very odd room, because you entered this room and the first portion of it was partitioned. In other words, the entire block of the barrack was open so if one were to have a loud or normal conversation, it can be overheard. Then you find a door--! guess you call it the dutch door where the top and the bottom can open independent of each other. You go through that and the space is a little larger than the front portion where our cots were set up. There was only one single light bulb burning and it was rather dismal. And of course no windows. No light, so I think the shock of no light, no windows, the smell--all of that was just appalling, and I think like with anything that is unpleasant one manages to tune it out and concentrate on life. ST: Oh yeah. KN: Yeah, and we did have to line up in mess hall with our tin utensils--tin cups, tin plates, etc. which we were told to bring with us, and suddenly to have food given to us in that fashion was in the beginning fun, and then one becomes used to it. I hadn't, I guess, experienced enough of life to know that this was an outrage. 5 |
