Udon-making event at Ayakawa town, 2018 November

This year, the folks at Ayakawa town again requested me to bring some international students to join their annual udon-making event. I invited 16 students to come along.

We first went to visit the Takayama Airport Park for a walk to enjoy the autumn leaves and airplane exhibits. Students also bought many stuff at the shop in the park.

We then proceeded to a community hall nearby to cook the udon. Students had the opportunity to try to knead the udon-flour and to cut them into thin strips, which is the udon noodles.

I think all students enjoyed the taste of the udon, which is specially cooked in the style of the local area. A band played music for entertainment.

The event wrapped up with a treasure hunt. Once again this year, we thank the Ayakawa International Association folks for the kind invitation. (Lrong)

Cuba (Lunch Presentation Meeting #121)

For the first time in Kagawa University, we have a student from Cuba. Keisuke-kun is with us for one year, studying the Japanese Language and the culture. He is a descendant of the Japanese, and I am sure that he will learm many things here to bring back to share with the community of Japanese descendants at Cuba. Numerous students turned up to listen to his interesting presentation on his country.
