Shimadai held an International Party in he University Hall on the 10th of December. The party consisted of two events, a meeting and a party. I took part as a performer at the meeting, but because I felt very tense, I didn’t sing as well as I would have liked. As a spectator, though, I heard some great Japanese traditional music and saw some foreign traditional costumes (there was also a fashion show). Afterwards, we went to a dining room and had a buffet-style party which was a good opportunity to talk with Japanese and other foreigners, making new friends and having lots of fun. Moreover, it was totally free so if you missed it, make sure that you participate next year.
