Pop Culture Festival
Tonight we had a little taste of what pop culture is like in Japan. First, a little game show tested our knowledge of Japan's pop culture. April’s company came out on top!! Then, as a surprise, Otani Sensei sang us a few songs on his guitar. After that, Cullison Sensei and Sakamaki Sensei performed a dance to Pink Lady's "Nagisa No Sindbad," a song they remember dancing to in elementary school. No photography or videos were allowed for the sake of embarrassment, so we regretfully say these can't be shared. Then, we had karaoke, a collection of the craziest songs and the most motley voices. Everyone joined in to sing songs like "Don’t Stop Believing," "Bohemian Rhapsody," and "Grenade." It was fun, but now most of our throats hurt from singing and cheering each other on.
Miyako Restaurant
Today we also took a trip on the trolleys to Downtown Charlottesville for some genuine sushi. Miyako Restaurant was our destination for lunch. We had already been planning for this trip because, towards the beginning of the Academy, we had to decide our lunch choice. The choices: Unagi (eel), Kaisen (seafood), Chicken Teriyaki, and, of course, a vegetarian option. Everything was delicious, even though some were a little cautious when it came to eating the eel.
