獅子舞
獅子舞の披露。多摩市でワールドキャンパスのセッション4が賑やかに始まりました。多摩実行委員会が獅子舞で私たちを歓迎してくれました。多摩市は取手市と同じように東京の中心地の近くで、西側に位置しています。
獅子舞は獅子の格好で頭に獅子を被った人が生演奏にあわせて踊ります。パフォーマー達は飛び回りステップを踏みます。一番おもしろかったのは獅子が客席を歩き回り観客の頭を食べるふりをし喜んでいたことです。獅子に頭を“食べられた”人には幸運が訪れるそうです。プログラム参加者のほとんどの頭は食べられました。
この夜、私たちは素晴らしい大学生たちとも会いました。私たちが多摩市に滞在中、一緒に活動したり東京メトロポリタンツアーを案内してくれる大学生たちです。
多摩市で、とても良いスタートができました!

Our World Campus – Japan Summer 2009 version of Love Me Tender
If you have been following our program or our blog, you have no doubt heard about our “Arigato Event.” Performed near the end of each of our stays, the event is a way for us to say Thank You to the communities and host families who have worked so hard to bring us into their world. These communities do most of the work needed to make World Campus International a success. In each of our events, there is a section that highlights the talents and creativity of our participants. This summer we had some members who decided that their talents went better together than on their own. Having never met before the program, these participants put a little Elvis, some Sax, a vocal rhythm track, a traditional Japanese instrument, and a world class voice together to create this amazing rendition of the classic, “Love Me Tender.”
Through Meghan’s Eyes
Over the past few weeks, we have given everyone a glimpse into the World Campus — Japan program. You have heard a lot about what we do and how we felt as we did it. We now want to let you hear one of our participant’s thoughts after she returned to the “real” world. Meghan Kuts participated in program 1 and 2 of the WCI Summer 09 tour. She made this video a little more than a month after she returned home. Take a look!!!
