Week 8-Half way through the Japan Exchange


Umbrella Printmaking with Primary School children

Bits and bobs of japan
bags and umbrellas make for ingenious farming
nagoya is great for coffee houses; eric life offers you 'intelligent way', at mollys cafe your table number is a plastic animal, they had a photograph of brighton pier, brilliant!
gold fish hanging in trees at a firework festival!
graveyards here...different.
if in doubt you can point for your dinner at the plastic food display cabinets
crossroads; people are really polite, i still don't know who is supposed to give way first...
Our beautiful view from our balcony apartment.
Look whos in the local paper for attending a traditional tea ceremony. 
Yummy creamy green tea in a traditionally crafted bowl that you have to wait for one by one in a circle, turn it around 3 times to the right, eat a bean paste sweet and listen to a lady talk in japanese whilst sitting on your knees getting cramp.
Films i have been watching.
Lost in translation really sums alot up.
 Gravity's Clown was a japanese dvd Anna, another international student from Germany, lent us to watch.(www.pinkmonkeee.livejournal.com) It was nice to practice what i had learnt in our japanese lessons; i could just about recognise the thank you's and hello's.
