Today (or yesterday, July 7th) it was Tanabata Matsuri (七夕祭り) here in Japan, which can be translated as “the star festival”, och on the Friday we students of Akamonkai got the chance to celebrate the festivals like the Japanse do – by writing wishes on pieces of paper, which are then used to decorate bamboo trees.
I Live in Japan Now!
It’s been almost a week now and I still haven’t really grasped that I actually live in Tokyo now! I mean to update this blog as often as possible, between lessons, study groups and outings. I chose to study at a school in Nippori, called Akamonkai, and so far all seems good!
