Day 7 – 6th Sept

Today the other students had exams, so we were able to do other things while they were doing their tests. First, we spent a short while figuring out kanji for Japanese names that we would have, and afterwards we did a tea ceremony. The tea ceremony was really fun, we had sweets and drank matcha. The sweets had to be cut into four before being eaten, and everything had to be done in a certain way. The tea was surprisingly hard to make, as you have to mix it in a way that makes a variety of bubbles. It was really tasty afterwards and I really enjoyed it. We then went to the calligraphy room and actually wrote our names in kanji for calligraphy. It was my first time doing calligraphy and my calligraphy was really bad haha. We then spent the rest of the day in the library reading books and drawing. It was a really fun day.
