Blog Assignment #15 Yukari Kondo

I enjoyed going to the Retirement Center this week. My favorite part was when we gave rice balls and miso soup to them. I wanted them to eat Japanese rice balls and miso soup so it made me so happy. There were sweet flavor and salt flavor rice balls. When they tried eating the rice ball they said it was good. I was glad that they learned about Japanese food and culture. Then we danced in front of them. We showed them Tankoubushi. It is a Japanese traditional dance. We also danced Marumarumorimori. It is the ending song from a popular Japanese drama. We wore Japanese traditional clothes. I wore a yukata for the first time since elementary school. I think yukatas are beautiful. If you go to a Japanese festival during summer time, you can see many people wearing yukatas. This picture shows Japanese traditional clothes, yukata and eisaa. I had fun. I’m glad everyone else had a good time, too.
