Japanese Trip 2017

What an experience!

The 2017 trip to Japan was a very enlightening experience,  an opportunity to develop an understanding of how a different culture operates and how it affects daily life.  The schools teach a larger amount of subjects, including traditional Japanese Arts such as: Judo, Shodo, Tea Ceremony and more.

Even more subjects are available in after-school clubs.  Japan is both a country of bullet trains (Shinkensen) and ancient temples.  A clash of old and new.  The people are very disciplined – it is a challenge to find rubbish anywhere!  All in all, Japan is a great country and I very much enjoyed my stay there.
