A couple weekends ago, I was able to attend
bunkasai, or School Festival. It was very fun and I was very impressed! All of
the students and teachers put a ton of work into preparing for the Festival,
and all their hard work really showed. We don’t have anything like bunkasai at
schools in America, so it was very special for me to see. I ate curry and rice,
which was delicious. I watched the Choir Club performance, and I went to a tea
ceremony. It was my first tea ceremony in Japan. I really enjoyed it, and the
tea was delicious, but it was difficult for me to sit seiza the whole time. I walked around to each of the homeroom
classes. My favorite ones were the haunted house and the rollercoaster – I rode
it! Then I saw the Dance Team and the Rhythmic Gymnastics club preform. They
were both very impressive. I’m happy that I get to work with such talented
girls!
