We had gone to Kinkowan High School the previous two days .
In the school, we had an introduction to the Japanese traditional tea ceremony, followed by a tour around the school .
After that , we attended two presentations conducted by their science club students and the best part was that they tried their very best to explain the theory of the experiment to us in English.
The presentations were about Sprites and the life cycle of a parasite wasp beetle .
As for the sprites , it included carrot sprites, column sprites and the dancing sprites .
The resulting observation for the sprites are quite accurate because of the numerous observations they made, namely the shining period(4.6 secs), the strength of light, the generated place(southern part of Yakushima Island) and the lightning of cause .
As for the next research, namely the investigation on the life cycle of parasite wasp beetle, was done in Kagoshima.
The behaviour of the egg parasite is unique.
The Attleabide, one of the species with the egg of the female(Paropoea) and the egg of the male(Morimotoi) can be found on the rolling leaf .

Mating occurs when the abdomen of the male is above the female .
Lastly , the male can recognize the body as female only by sight .

We took a lot of photos and also went to the peak of the hill to see the beautiful scenery that we would never have been able to see in Singapore .

After that we went to Joho high school to meet with our host family but some of us had our host buddy schooling at Gyokryu junior high school. It took us around 40min to reach there from Joho high school. My host family was at Gyokryu junior high school. Lucky for me, my Japanese buddy was a girl,her name was Yoshiru Akari and shared my buddy with another Evgian which was Shazana. The family hosted two students from Singapore. After the welcome ceremony done by the students of the high school, at the car park, me and Shazana met the father. Then they drove us to their home. We met with the whole family and conversed with them although it was quite hard to communicate as they don't really speak Japanese. The family was very friendly. The parents ask us to call them papa and mama and not Mr or Mrs.
They ask us what we like,and Shazana said (shopping). Straight away they asked us to change and proceed to the shopping mall. They bought us lots of things although we said we want to pay for it. They said "no problem". Then we had dinner at Italian restaurant. As they don't want us to eat Japanese food because we have been eating the same food again and again for past few days. We then went to sight-see and take pictures together. We reached home around 10pm. Instead of going to sleep, they invited us to play the game Nintendo Wii. But we were too tired. So we just took a hot bath and slept. Now I already miss them although it was just a few hours back that we had been spending time with them. We promised to still keep in touch by email.
My dear Host family
They even invited the grandparents to be around
