Year 10 Japan Foundation Excursion

In Week 10 Term 2, Year 10 Japanese went on an excursion to the Japan Foundation in the city. We did activities such as calligraphy, playing games and dressing up in traditional Japanese clothing. Everyone at the foundation was very nice and welcoming and I learned a lot about Japanese culture. For lunch, we had our choice of 2 rice balls with some chicken and a salad. It was very delicious and I enjoyed it. My favourite part was wearing the yukatas because it was unlike anything we’ve done before and it was interesting to learn about the different ways you can tie one up and to what occasions Japanese people wear them. The excursion was a really great experience and it allowed us to have fun and learn about Japanese culture.
