Renovated International Study Room
Our newly renovated international study room - about half of it is in the picture.
From March to April, our smallish international study room was wided and sprouced up before our very eyes. With more floor space added by knocking out a wall, university style desks, new carpet, and a new air conditioner, the room is not only larger and nice, but also a more versitile space than before.
The international study room is located on the first floor of the Seiritsu Budojo. Budojo means martial arts hall, which holds a judo dojo and a kendo dojo.
And a wooden slide from the first to second floor.
Everyone who first comes to building always scratches their head when they see a kid's slide built in the Budojo.
There is a very good reason for it, which is not sliding down while practicing kendo slashes. The building used to be the old Seiritsu kindergarten, but when the beautiful new kindergarten was built across the street some years ago, the old building's classrooms were renovated into two dojo. However, the old front office was not needed and remained vacant until it became the international department's room a few years back.
Below are more pictures of the renovations.
