Visitors from Poland!

This past Tuesday we were lucky to host a dance group from Poland. They're here for a competition in Edogawa but they came by in the afternoon and joined us for some Japanese crafts and cooking. They tried their hand at origami and they cooked shiratama, a traditional Japanese sweet made from rice flower.

Everything turned out great and the students had a wonderful time meeting each other. The wonderful thing about a second language is that it doesn't limit you only to communicating with native speakers of that language, but also allows you to interact with anyone who's studied the same language. We were happy that our students had a chance to speak English with our guests from Poland and hopefully their world view has expanded that much more.

Big thanks to the cooking club for taking the time to teach us how to make such delicious food!!
