Senri High School - Photo Gallery 1

We began the day in the principal's office for her warm greeting to Senri High School. Following that initial meeting our travelers were met by Senri students and taken to participate in an actual Senri class.

This is a shot of a computer keyboard with the Japanese characters.

This is a picture of the teacher work room. All my fellow business teachers at Hardin Valley who are familiar with how my cubicle looks will understand why I included this photo.

The student body gathered on the athletic field for a closing ceremony (for the end of school.) They stood in perfect lines in the heat through several lengthy speeches. When it began to rain they did not move. We were standing under cover so at least we stayed dry.

These students were the masters of ceremonies for the afternoon activities.

These students taught us about Japanese boy bands and other finer points of Japanese teenager culture.

These are some scenes from the Jeopardy game.

There was great tension as the final score was totaled!

Three of the Knox County group attended an origami lesson while the others worked on calligraphy.

Then it was time for all of us to dress in our yakuta, with great assistance. We were all given a yakuta by Panasonic.

At the end of the day we joined the Senri students for a social time. I learned about the colorful charms the girls attach to their cell phones.
