Japanese+Field+Trip-Joseph

On December 3rd my class(Ms.Tsuji) and Mr.Mackenzie's class wet to the Japanese cultural place in Vancouver. There were 7 types of activities. Martial arts,kimono dressing,a tea ceremony,cultural toys,calligraphy(writing),traditional songs,and dancing.My group only saw the bow and arrow performance.The arrow went so fast,it made a loud sound when it hit the target.I didn't learn about the kimono but i just put on it and it felt so cool and wavy.The tea tasted bitter but it tasted ok to me because it kind of tasted like seaweed.The sweets before the tea was very good because it's called "sweets".(I didn't do the toy activity).Calligraphy was the first activity i did and it was hard to do the stokes because she said you have to move you arm with you elbow to write.We only sang a song called Sakura Sakura(i think).The song was very short so it was easy.A woman danced a dance called "crane and turtle".She said the dance is quite long so she only did the crane part.After she taught us the most famous folk dance in japan.The steps were pretty easy but it goes pretty fast.
