Learning about Japanese culture and MLI diplomas

Last evening we had a great time thanks to Japanese group. They had prepared a presentation about their country and culture. All the international students met at the theatre to listen to their explanations.



Two nice Japanese boys did a powerpoint presentation which included a description of Japan, the most important places and cities in Japan, a list of typical food. They also showed us a traditional way of playing drums, and a boy played for us using boards and cardboard instead of real drums. To finish their presentetion, they introcued us to origami, and we all tried to make a paper figure, what was quite difficult! But we could reach to make it with the Japanese students help.

After the Japanese presentation, we had the handing out diplomas ceremony. Teachers gave to students the certificate which proved they all passed their couses. Teacher handed a funny diploma about a special feature of each student. For example, some of our students got: the best basketball player, the super cool girl, the Juliet, etc.

After all, we still had some time to do some indoor sports and to say goodbye to the other Italian group who left last night!

The beach with no sand but plenty of games and shops

Today was the penultimate day of class. We learned a lot of new words about jobs, weather, shops...
In the afternoon we went to Blackpool, it's a town near Lancaster. This town has beach, but a very different beach than ours because it hasn't got sand, it only has cement at the sides of the beach. Blackpool is famous for its gambling machines, some of the students have played a bit! We visited the center, we walked through the pier and we went shopping.

Today was an exepcional day because it wasn't rain!

The Italian people are going to leave this apparments tomorrow early in the morning and it's possible than we never see them again and this night we will wake up to say good bye at 6am.

We are very friends with the Spanish people and Russians too but the Japanese people are very different from us and they don't understand anything that we say.

Now we are going to see a show of the Japanese people and maybe we'll learn more about their culture.

See you on Sunday (:
