Monday and Tuesday was my high schools' cultural festival, also know as Hakubaisai. The theme was "Time Waits for No One." The students, and even teachers, put a lot of time in preparing and practicing for the festival. Over to the two days, I saw the students form into groups and put on all different types on performances or presentations; dance, music, skits, art, and science, and much more! I got to see a Snow White as a musical, attend a Tea Ceremony with Tea Ceremony Club, saw Calligraphy club do large paintings, and watched many classes do dances to Micheal Jackson songs.
There was so much talent to see, and you could truly tell the students spent much time practicing for their performance/presentation.
Also, at the opening ceremony I was asked to give a speech, in English, in front of the WHOLE school about my thoughts on Kano High School. It went great, and luckily I wasn't nervous at all because the students were all clapping and cheer when I walked on stage. I was honored to give my speech.:)
I had a great time and I was so happy to be able to experience the festival and see all the students come together and put in the effort to celebrate!
I will upload some photos I took to Flickr soon!
