Today was a really cool day! We visited the elementary schools, and it was SOOOO much fun!!! Unlike the high school. the elementary kids couldn't get enough of us! They were so friendly! Kids couldn't get enough of our autographs and pictures. They were so excited to meet foreigners, and treat us like we were royalty. It was great!
I got to participate in so many cool activities today. Taiko drumming was probably my favorite.... next was Japanese calligraphy. It was really cool observing a math and science lesson as well. I ate lunch with the kids in their classroom. Then we went outside to play on the playground. It was a lot of fun! It would be great to go back again, but we have no time!
This evening, Rebecca and I went out into the city to shop and run some errands. The highlight of our evening was when we went to a Japanese restaurant, and no one spoke English. We wanted noodles, but I dont' think the restaurant had traditional Japanese food. We managed to get pasta with a white wine sauce. The waiter did understand our order for sake and edamame though! YUM! After a few English lessons for the friendly waiter, and a few Japanese lessons in return, we paid our bill and finished our stroll. We went to the grocery store and bought things we thought looked good but didn't know what we were really getting. It is such an adventure here! I can't believe we only have a week left!!! Well, I am lucky to have had this wonderful opportunity at all!
