It is another beautiful "Kinyōbi" night at the governor's Japanese academy. After an evening of extreme party-ing and much culture indulging, diligent students are studying with teachers, reading over documents, and practicing a strange form of ballet. Over there. Far away from where I am.
Today, students went through their usual schedule: In the morning, they participated in Radio Taisō (the daily stretches), went on to language class from 9:00 to 12:30, and welcomed the afternoon with a two-hour topic class in which teachers focused on a certain aspect of Japanese culture. This eventually culminated in the main event of the day: Pop Culture Night! Or as the welcoming sign read, "Hop Culture night!" After a misleading powerpoint presentation, students were surprised with a darkened room, flashing lights, and loud music. Henceforth, all proceeded to the front of the auditorium, which was designated as the dance floor, and the party thus began. Students had several choices ranging from a manga reading circle, to a cosplay corner, to a karaoke area, and beyond! Everybody enjoyed the 3.5 hours of fun prepared by the hardworking Variety Show/Pop Culture Night group, and of course, the senpai and sensei joined in on the fun. Pop Culture Night was a great success!
