Backtrack - Sunday (20th) Festival - From Ani

I went to the school festival with several of the other ryugakusei (exchange students) and a few Japanese students. 

Picture from the start of the day.

The guys in the picture all played in the dodge Frisbee, which I missed ‘cause I was meeting with Eri-san. They apparently lost horribly, but I’d still wanted to see it.

After the game we bought lunch and looked at the shopping stalls. I bought a few things since they were inexpensive. ^^

All the festival activities we went to were interesting, I heard several songs sung that I knew; and the dancing was really fun. For the English club they had a bubble thing-a-ma-jig that was fun.

I went to see the shodo exhibit with Eri-san and Skye, which was fun. They had lots of interesting writings posted up, and they had a place where you could make your own. I wrote one, but didn’t want to keep it.

We also saw a yukata competition; I couldn’t understand enough of what they were saying to know what they were talking about, but it was still fun.

Later I went to the manga club with Serina-san, Eri-san, and Ben. It was fun! I got a drawing of my manga self ^^ (it’s on facebook if you want to look at it).

After that all the clubs were cleaning up so we went to join Kazu-san and Dwight at the soccer field, and Kazu-san taught me (and Dwight) the basics of playing soccer. It was a lot of fun! Though my hip was hurting afterwards, probably wasn’t very good for it....

Overall it was a great day! とてもたのしかったですよ！^^
