Today we had an excellent day at Kawaguchi Konan Jr High School. Once again we were given the red carpet treatment and were quite humbled by their welcome. We spent the morning learning with their students in class and exchanged some gifts.
After that, we went to Tomokazu's house to visit the Yamaichi Sports Club facilities, where the kids had a swim before checking out the Yamaichi Hydro-Electric Power Station. Tomo then invited us into his home for ice-cream before the kids were picked up by their host families.
Today was the last day in Fujiyoshida of course. I'm sure there will be a few tears shed in the morning, but I'm also sure that the thought of Disneyland a few hours later will cheer them up pretty quickly.
Some good news for students in Room 1 and Room 9... The students of Fujigakuen Jr High School liked your gifts so much that they have already given me something to bring back to the school. We will make a display, take photos, and hopefully have regular contact with the school.
Thanks for the update and have an awesome time at Disneyland.
ReplyDeleteGreat that the kids liked the gifts. Hard to believe that the time in Fujiyoshida is over already. Apparently the weather forecast is not great for Disneyland but it may keep the crowds down.
ReplyDeleteSounds like you guys are being treated like stars. Glad it is all going so well. Have fun at Disneyland, hope the weather holds out for you.
