Agriculture Festival, more people

So, before I forgot I made sure to learn some names and faces. I met Louis from Canada, Evelyn from Singapore, Tracy from Malaysia, and Sophia from Taiwan, Iri from Japan. Things I learned: Malaysia and Singapore have one season: summer. Malaysians are generally pretty fluent in English as well as Mandrin, Cantonese, and Malaysian. Iri was playing piano during lunch today, she is probably one of the most talented piano players I've ever heard and considering the amount of pinao players I've been around, I think its saying something.

This morning I went to the Akita "Agriculture Festival" with about 25 other international students, actually all of the people I mentioned above except for Iri went there. we had fun playing some children's games such as Goldfish scooping . I will post some pictures as soon as I can. We got to ride this mini golf cart thing that was powered on Solar Power and watched some live action show that I will call the "Akita power rangers". After the show the performers came out in their costumes and allowed to take pictures with them, they were dressed as bugs and zebras and other strange things, yes pictures to come. It was a lot of fun and a good opprotunity to meet some of the other students, and we came back in time for Lunch :)
