Rice Planting

Some of the international students participated in the traditional rice planting as a part of GION COMMUNITY ACTIVITIES.






They planted rice seedlings in the paddy field with the kids, as demonstrated by one of the Gion Community leaders.

....and of course, mud fights???

Gambare Gambare Keidai



After 15 hours on the bus, we arrived at Tokyo Dome to cheer for the HUE baseball team in the National Championship Game.

 

With the exchange of university songs and "cheers," (just as we practiced!) the game started....



And we cheered for the team with "Chance, Chance, Chance!!" and "Gambare Gambare Keidai!" throughout the game.

YES, we did score!
