Our students really have lots of chances to join various events held in the community. Today, some of our students enjoyed “yaki-imo (roasted sweeted potato)” with kindergarten kids. “Yaki-imo” is a delicacy in winter in Japan, sold by hawkers.
Our students also introduced their countries and customs to the kids. They also enjoyed playing some traditional games with the kids. The kids learned easy greetings in English and Chinese. They tried to communicate with our students not only in Japanese but in our students’ mother tongues.
Through these kinds of events, both people in the community and our students understand each other’s culture and customs more and more deeply. We are invited “Friendship Party” next month where many foreigners and Japanese living in the area get together eating, talking, making speeches, watching traditional performing arts, …etc.
