Julia’s experiences ～Part III
2015年12年16日 | diary
In September school started again and we were busy with many different events line the tenting with the hiking club on Miyajima and my first sports festival.
I was the rider while we did a human-horse race and had to grab cakes in a plastic packing hanging from a string above my head.
We got to share the cakes afterwards, which were delicious!
It was also fun to watch performances of the other grades, especially when the teachers dressed up as different movie characters.
Soon after that we had tests, which was the first time for me to participate in all the tests in Japan.
It was really, really difficult.
I think I’ve never studied so hard in my life before!
But when the tests finished I was really relieved, happy and could look forward to the next big event: Okinawa!!
So, right in the next week, we went on a study trip to the beautiful island of Okinawa.
There, the warmly-welcoming people, delicious food and spectacular scenery made we fall in love with the island so I didn’t want to leave!
We learnt so many things about the cruel, bloody Okinawan war and listened to a lot of interesting, deeply emotional lectures.
But we also had fun, for example cutting sugar cane and then making juice and toffee out of it, or in the luxurious hotels we stayed at.
We are going to introduce her experiences in the latter half of the second term.
Please look forward to our blog being updated.
