Happo-Cho Program
At our university, there's a monthly international exchange program where students can go to the small town of Happo-Cho, where we visit a school and allow schoolchildren to practice speaking English with us, and they get to learn more about other cultures. After visiting the schools, the town usually hosts some cultural activities for us.
I had just went last weekend, but here are photos from my first time way back in October. We visited an elementary school, and this time it was an overnight trip, and it they had us do so much - it was exhausting but a lot of fun. We made a famous Akita dish called kiritanpo, had an amazing dinner, tried taiko drumming, saw a musical performance, enjoyed onsen and hiked in the amazing Shirakami forest.
Ingredients for kiritanpo.
The fish that we ate only a few hours later for dinner.
It was amazingly good!!! I ate so much of it!
Kirintanpo!
