October Japanese club activity UNDOUKAI 10/22

Field Day - Undoukai

The second Monday in October is Japan's national holiday, "Sports Day." It was established to commemorate the 1964 Summer Olympics in Tokyo, which opened on October 10. Many schools held a "Field Day" around this time, which includes various physical events. Some common events are the 100 meters relay, tug of war, mock cavalry battle and so on. The children are usually divided into two teams: red and white (the children all have red and white reversible gymnastics caps). "Field Day" is a fun event for the entire family. Some parents get up early to reserve a space at school grounds so that they can get a good view of their children. Moms are also busy making special bento lunch boxes for the family.

For our Undoukai, we will be playing some fun sports, so please come! Make sure you paid your $10 at the financial office. This fee is for the whole year.

The following are my favorite Japanese dramas. I learned English watching American TV shows and I know that it helped me a lot.

I know that some of you would rather watch anime than Japanese drama, but I would really recommend watching drama over anime because anime uses different expressions that we don't really use in our daily life.
