Wow, what a weekend!

This weekend, Part Two.

We were invited along to the Bunkasai (Japanese Cultural Day) at Tomioka High School.. It was my first experience of Tomioka High School and of a Japanese school that was interested in their ALTS taking an active part in lessons, cultural exploration and being involved in the school environment.. I loved it!

A past exchange student who went to Penrose High School for a little visit had made an Auckland Stand and I was asked to help her with it - so I dressed up as a Ma-o-ri and swung the poi about for half a day :) hehe.

Here's another video clip on the day's events... Mike and Desiree are Americans and they set up a face painting stall, Scott and Catherine are French and they set up an International Post Office... Pretty amazing to be in Japan and be closest to non-japanese! lol.
