I haven't been able to update my blog, because the condition of the wireless internet connection that I am "borrowing" is getting worse.
Last week, we had 3 days off from school to hold a festival (大学祭) at school. Moreover, it was 文化の日 or Cultural Day on November 3rd. The festival was 4 days long. It is where all the "circles" or clubs come together and sell food, handmade crafts (I bought flower earring holder shown above), and hold performances.
The second picture above is "taiyaki". It is similar to the "Hong Kong Style Cake" that you buy from Chinatown, but better. It has different flavors, such as chocolate, green tea, red beans, etc. There were tons of food, including yakitori (barbeque meat), yakisoba (stir-fry noodles), okonomiyaki (seafood pancake), ramen, etc. Strangely, there were 2 clubs that sold hot dogs.
As for the performances, they were quite impressive and entertaining. Most of the time, I watched the Japanese dance to Ciara and other hip hop songs. When popular songs like, "One Two Step" were playing, no one knew the words. Moreover, the dancers were lipping the wrong words to the song.
