21st august
here's all the rikkyo students going for japan tent!

after about 8 hours of night bus riding, we finally reached kanazawa. it was a tiring trip, especially since we stopped like every 2 hours for a 30minutes toilet break, so we couldn't really sleep at all.
but we had onigiri breakfast!


so it wasn't that bad.
then we had to wait till 10am for our orientation. while waiting, the korean girls started dancing in the middle of nowhere. (-_-`)


we managed to get out of the compound for a little break at some convenience store


and then we returned for the loooooong speech


luckily lunch was awesome


but we had more speech after that, although at a different place




we even have a speech dedication from the prime minister!

finally, some performances. first was the choir.


they played 'sakura'

started singing after a while


the drum performance was energetic and refreshing! reminded me of hwang jinyi.





then there's a dance!!!







after that, it was time to head to our respective designated cities to meet our first host family.
