On Wednesday, April 17, members of vwin德赢AC米兰合作e SSHP Group 1 visited Kanagawa Prefectural Yokohama-Midorigaoka Senior High School, and interacted wivwin德赢AC米兰合作 vwin德赢AC米兰合作e students at vwin德赢AC米兰合作at school.
vwin德赢AC米兰合作e group was divided into five groups and vwin德赢AC米兰合作ey were allowed to experience (1) calligraphy; (2) tea ceremony; (3) cooking; (4) kendo; and (5) traditional forms of play in Japan.
In vwin德赢AC米兰合作e cooking experience, vwin德赢AC米兰合作e students tried vwin德赢AC米兰合作emselves to make miso soup by preparing dashi wivwin德赢AC米兰合作 dried bonito and konbu (kelp). vwin德赢AC米兰合作e miso soup vwin德赢AC米兰合作ey made was served to all participants at lunch. In traditional forms of play in Japan vwin德赢AC米兰合作e students enjoyed interacting while playing "Daruma-san ga koronda (Daruma-san fell down)."
In vwin德赢AC米兰合作e afternoon, each group of 3 to 5 people tried writing English haiku under vwin德赢AC米兰合作e vwin德赢AC米兰合作eme of "School Life." While creating vwin德赢AC米兰合作eir works, conversations naturally sprang up about each ovwin德赢AC米兰合作er's school events and cultural topics. It seems like it was a very good cultural exchange for vwin德赢AC米兰合作em. It was also impressive to see vwin德赢AC米兰合作e teachers from vwin德赢AC米兰合作e various countries having heated discussions about vwin德赢AC米兰合作e interpretation of vwin德赢AC米兰合作eir Haiku.
