Culture Class and Event Reports
Pottery
We walked for about 10 minutes to a small pottery shop near GenkiJacs.
We were taught how to sculpt a small bowl/plate thing. It was a very fun, and relaxing class.
The pottery sensei gave very detailed instructions and examples, and the school sensei that
came along translated/helped the students who needed. We were all allowed to use the pottery
teachers bowl as 'practice' before we tried to decorate our own bowls. Lots of mistake, but very fun.
This process took about 2 hours. I'd definitely give it another try if I was ever in Japan again.
The only thing bad is that it takes quite a while for the ceramics to dry and be given to you.
GenkiJacs Friday Nights Out!
Some teachers and a lot of students go out on a Friday evening to random, different restaurants around the city (all nearby the school!).
They're usually All You Can Eat/Drink for a very cheap price (usually 2-3,000 Yen).
These are definitely worth going to! You can almost ALWAYS expect a great time!
Talk with teachers and students outside of the school, and stuffing your face silly with
delicious foods! I ate some food that I never would have tried or known about if I was on my own.
I definitely recommend these for everyone who wants a great time!
