Our 2nd last Friday here in Leysin! Time sure flies.
KLAS puts on their Japanese Festival at the end of every summer, to give us a taste of Japanese culture, music, dance, etc. They dress out students in traditional dress (yukata??) Their choir sings popular songs, the band plays popular music (often from their best-selling boy/girl bands.)
They do demonstrations of tea ceremony, karate, double-dutch skipping, and dancing.
Then we move to the cafeteria for a Japanese supper (BBQ chicken and rice... not too far from our norms...) and some activities stations.
You can have messages (your name?) written in Japanese script, play some other games typical of their culture, and generally hang out and enjoy each other's company.
We enjoyed ourselves this year again.
