I’m not sure why they bother using the expression “summer holiday” in Japan.
After one day back at school, I quickly realized that the students and teachers haven’t really had a holiday at all. Most of them had to come to school everyday for classes and the only time they had off was a three-day break because of the Japanese festival of Obon.
Hopes of returning to refreshed and eager students were quashed as most of them were falling asleep in the opening ceremony – oh well!
One great piece of news from the summer is that my school’s Taiko Team (Japanese drumming) is officially the number one team in Japan. After winning the Kumamoto championships they went to Tokyo to compete during the summer and returned victorious. After practicing every day for 4 hours I know they deserve it!
Unfortunately all the other clips I have of them are too big to upload and I only have this one!
