With lots of hugs and tears, we sadly farewelled our Shinjo friends at the train station early this morning. Bound for Tokyo by the Shinkansen, we arrived at our beautiful hotel situated at Sunshine City in the Ikebukuro district. After some free time exploring the large shopping and entertainment complex, we ventured to Mazaria - a virtual reality gaming arcade. We all had a thoroughly enjoyable time playing with and against each other in many different VR worlds.
It was our first exciting day at Shinjo East High School filled an abundance of memorable activities and experiences. We participated in various lessons including Calligraphy, Maths, English, Geography. In Home Economics class, students enjoyed making delicious okonomiyaki , a savoury Japanese cabbage pancake. The students of Shinjo performed a traditional musical and dance performance. During the afternoon, we watched a Judo demonstration and learnt some basic manoeuvres. After school, we attended a Kimono and Yukata wearing experience where we all enjoyed dressing in traditional Japanese attire.
