Let's Party!!
Today is the big day that we’ve been planning for a while.
My buddy Yusuke and I had been coordinating an International Party which would
be a fellowship amongst Chuo students and TnCIS students. The purpose of the
mixer was for both sides of students to gain a greater understanding for each
other’s native customs and cultures. The mixer was to be held at the Civic
Center that we had previously visited to observe the overlook of all of Tokyo.
I was extremely happy to be able to converse with so many Japanese students. I
had no idea that these students were from all over Japan and not just Tokyo. In
fact, I met one student who was from China and she spoke both fluent English
and fluent Japanese. I found that to be extremely amazing because mastering not
only one but two languages is extremely challenging. At our tables, we were
tasked to design a Japanese style fan which was supposed to enter a contest.
The contest idea fell through but it was still very cool being able to come up
with ideas for the fans. Tom was in my group, and he is a free-lance artist, so
of course, in my opinion we won the competition.
