Mito, more than you think
When in World Campus – Japan, we arrive in a city, we know we are going to get to know the town in some way, sometimes with our host families on host family day, sometimes with local people that give s a tour of a museum or any other important building… this time, we had a really cool tour of a park, house and lake.
The university students of Mito gave us a scavenger hunt to play, see and enjoy the nature around Mito. It was a lot of fun trying to find out all the answers without any “japanese” help.
We saw the beautiful nature Mito has to offer, including an amazing lake located in the middle of town where you can ride boats with swan shape. They also have swans swimming on the lake and they are sooo friendly you can almost touch them and hang out with them.
Overall, Mito is more than just a town, is a place to relax and enjoy nature inside the city.
Rose Sushi!
Another great afternoon in Toyota City. Today we were told we were going to learn how to make japanese food. 🙂 Nice!!! ~ Many of us signed up for it because what a great opportunity.
We started with the “learning” it wasn’t as simple as we thought, of course, there are so many details that go into making a japanese dish… we thought it was going to look HORRIBLE to be honest but at the end, it wasn’t too bad. It actually looked REALLY GOOD!
We learned how to make sushi… but… once you cut it, the inside of the roll looks like roses. Yes! like roses, can you believe it? Those Japanese people really know how to make food a special thing not only to eat but to see.
Take a look at the picture!
