In the morning, once we settled down at Kagoshima Joho High, we were divided into different groups for different activities.
These activities includes judo, kendo, kyudo and Japanese drum. As for me I was assigned to be in the group that will get to experience Japanese drums. (Taiko) It was FUN! I enjoyed myself.
During the try out for Japanese drum, we were taught 3 rhythms.
For Japanese drum, the standing position were different from what I had seen in Singapore.For me, it was an enriching and fun activity as I really enjoyed myself when I was learning how to play the rhythms. Not only were we able to learn the rhythms, we were also able to see a solo performance by one of their students!
The performance was simply marvellous and full of excitement.
Her solo performance showcases a lot of their culture and when you are looking at her performance, you would simply not know what she would do next. so, that is why I say it was exciting while I anticipated for her next move. If you readers were there, I was sure the only thing you would say would be "wow". I meant its like a must watch for all as would be great if everyone could see it.
After that activity, the principal addressed us formally, talking about their school and this exchange program. Harada principal then ended his speech with best wishes for us. As said earlier, he gave us gifts; paintings done by the students. Not only that, Mr Lee too gave the Principal of Kagoshima Joho high our school's EVG BEAR!
After all the activities, it was tired for us to yet not too tired to took picture with them. I guess it might be the last time we can take pictures with the students for Kagoshima Joho high.
