Gakusei

Today we visited an elementary school 5 minutes away from the university. In preparation, we came up with 2 posters about Arizona (yey art skills) and introduce ourselves. So all is well, till we got to the school where everybody just started to feel anxious just because foreigners are always a spectacle for people, more so for curious Japanese kids. I think nobody really knew what we were gonna do so everybody was suprised when they told us that we were learning a dance. Not just a dance, but a DANCE:



They were so awesome in dancing, by the way. We were just in awe. It's called the Yosakoi Soran Bushi, a mixture 2 Japanese traditional dances. The moves are pretty demanding, think aerobics+tai chi. Needless to say, we were working out. But who cares when you are having fun right? I got to know these great 6th graders who despite our language barriers, was able to communicate through movement and spirit. They are great kids I'll never forget.



The only complain is that we all wished we could have spent more time with them. I am pretty sure we'll see each other again, someday when I come back here to Japan.

There are other pictures that I wanted to post but I seriously need to study. We have a chapter test tomorrow and I still have not touched my textbook since I just got back an hour ago from eating dinner with Ronaldo Sensei (and family). Also, I got lost! Yes, literally. Taking a bus 15 minutes early can be lethal here in Japan! But I found my way back to the University so we are all good.

Alright, that's it for now!
