Traditional kawaii land




I know this is a bit late since this happened on sunday but whatever.


I went to experience some traditional culture with my two sisters: Chie and Chisato

We went to a nice temple I dont know where and joined in a few traditional japanese games. One of the games was hosted by my host mum. The games are a bit hard to explain but ill try.


Game 1


This is a game only played on the 9th of september.


There are 11 cups with a smell in this is how they are divided:


Cup 1: 2
Cup 2: 3
Cup 3: 3
Cup 4: 3

You are allowed to test smell one of cup 1 and one of cup 2. So when the game starts there will be 9 cups. This is the way the smells are divided:


Cup 1: 1
Cup 2: 2
Cup 3: 3
Cup 4: 3


Now these cups are passed around at a random order, and your job is to list them in the order you think they are in. Might either be easy or hard to understand. You write your answer on a paper and if you get more then 3 right your good. (I got two)

Game 2


This game is called moon something or the other.

You have two smells, and there are three cups of each. The smells are called moon and guest. You are allowed to smell Moon. Now when the game stars the "smell mistress" (we'll just call her that) randomly pics three out of the six cups. These are passed around and smelled. You have to guess the right way they are. There are of course many possibilities on the order. You write your answer on a piece of paper again (got two again)



This is the way the games are played. It was kind of hard to sit still for these... becouse theyr not the most exiting... but they were still intresting.


We also went to a tea seremony.

In the evening we went to a cinese restourant with my family (missing Takashi, Hiroko, Mayu and Ryuta), please check the pictures from my gallery.
Me and Yutaka came to the conclusion that Shigeru-san is a serious tobacco addict and that Akira is also an addict.

Rotary orientation


きょはロタリのオリエンタチオン.


Today was rotary orientation, or more like a rotary party. But of course nobody told me it was a formal orientation so i went in the normal shorts ad band t-shirt look with my creapers of course. It was funny how everyone else had very formal clothes and shit. But hey im different.
We listened to speeches for about four hours.. intresting ne... but we also got a presant. A book about Japan, a badge and a jukata kind of shirt. I have no idea what it is called, its is blue and has mt fuji on the back. Lol.
After all the forman things we had a dinner part, for like 2 hours... and all the inbounds and outbounds had to have a speech. Lol everyone thinks i have a rockstar attitude XD and maybe i do. At least i hope i do XD Im so bad. I ate myself sick again becouse these was chinese food (i love chinese food... especially since all i get to eat is japanese food). And the chocolate cake im in love with ^^"
We ended up taking thousands of pictures after the party becouse we love our friends XDDD
But i had alot of fun, i love all my friends to bits.

Tomorrow i go to a tea seremony.... it seems to complicated x_X
I dont really know at all what im suppose to do there... but maybe i'll see a bit later

Please check my galleries for more pics ^__^ <3
