2 July 2015: Curry Rice and a Guest Lecturer

Today, the students attended their usual language and topic classes before recreation time, during which most participated in the planned event for the day. Late in the day, they worked in groups to prepare their own dinner, curry rice. Each group, armed with their own "secret ingredients," provided a sample to each senpai and sensei, who judged and reached a verdict on which rendition was the best tasting. Our visiting Japanese student, Toshiki, even participated in the tasting and judging process. After dinner, Ms. Luck, a guest lecturer in the process of getting her PhD at Virginia Commonwealth University, educated the students on Japanese government and political history, which was very informative and involved many students asking thought-provoking questions. After the nightly meeting, everyone returned to their rooms to rest up for the day ahead.
