Welcome Party

January 16th

6 new Australian teachers from Adelaide arrived on the 4th January to begin a year contract working here. The local community centre had a welcome party which we were all invited to attend. We listened to music and the Adelaide teachers introduced themselves before we tried tea ceremony and shodo (Japanese calligraphy).

Tea ceremony


Sweet to eat before having the green tea


Me drinking the tea


Pretty things used in the tea ceremony

The calligraphy I did - this one is not mine though - way too good!
