Tatiana's Bunkasai Experience
The school festival Bunkasai was fun, even though I am not used to coming to school on Saturday and Sunday. I haven’t been here for long, so I couldn’t really help my homeroom except for making a few decorations. So I mostly stayed in the international room.
We did fortune telling in English, it was a good experience because it gave us an opportunity to talk a little bit with Japanese people of all ages, from kindergarten kids to older ladies. It was sometimes a little bit hard to translate some of the fortunes to Japanese, but I think we did okay in the end. It was also a good training!
I didn’t have a lot of time to see all the other classes’ rooms, but from what I saw they all did an amazing job! The dance club, cheerleading shows and other performances on stage were awesome, and the maze/quiz room was fun even if I didn’t understand all the questions.
These two days were tiring but very fun, it was a unique experience.
