Guest blog series with Risa! U.S.A. event: Get to Know Japan ๐ŸŽŽ๐Ÿฎ๐ŸŽ๐ŸŽ๐Ÿ‡ฏ๐Ÿ‡ต

On October 24th, U.S.A. (United Students Association) held the event “Get to Know Japan”. There are three students from Japan in PLU: Yohei, Ricky and Me—Risa! We introduced our home country and culture.




First, we explained our own home cities. Yohei is from Kobe, Hyogo. The city is the sister city of Seattle, it is connected with Seattle strongly. He explained the famous things in Kobe. Also, I talked about my home town, Osaka. It is the second biggest city in Japan. It is not only known as a sightseeing place, but it also has a bunch of delicious culture foods worth going bankrupt for according to CNN. I introduced a bit of them. Then, Ricky introduced about Tokyo. As you know, Tokyo is the capital, and there are many places you have to see! He talked about some cities with beautiful pictures he took before.


Second, we played a Japanese game called “fruits basket.” It is similar to music chair game, so everyone except one person takes a seat, and the person stands in the center and calls out a description such as “girls” or “who likes play basketball.” People who are applied have to move and find new opened chair. Then another person who can’t find the chair will be left in the center. It was way more fun than what we expected! Everyone enjoys the new game a lot and keeps laughing during the game!


Lastly, we served Takoyaki. It is a local food of Osaka, a ball-shaped made of flour and octopus in it. We had prepared 120 balls for 2 hours, but they finished all just for 20 minutes! Unexpectedly, we started making them and the event extended for an hour. We are so happy everyone enjoyed our Japanese food.

Thank you all who came to the event!!
I’d be happy if you are interested in Japan more through the blog! 

Best,
Risa
