This week has been centered around that one thing we cant live without FOOD!
On Wednesday March 29, 2017, I experienced some good eats @ the cherry blossom festival. During the festival there was a sushi demonstration where they made tons and tons of sushi including the crunch roll, California roll, sushi rolls with caviar and more.
There were chopstick give-aways, name writings in Japanese, singing and speaking in Japanese that was delivered by students in the Japanese group at Spelman and Morehouse. As well as 6-8 year old black children who have been fluently speak Japanese since the age of 3 years of old. They were students from the OMNI International School.
Seeing those children introduce themselves in Japanese really had me shook!! These kids are learning at levels I had never imagined! I was appalled. I forgot to mention the sushi was amazing. It was fresh and fulfilling if you didn’t have any you truly missed out.
The pictures above include students from Spelman and Morehouse’s Japanese program. Also it features the one and only and youngest Asian student from the International school, whom is currently learning Japanese like the other students.
I had a great time and I got some cool souvenirs. Spelman constantly amazes me because their goal is to cultivate women to be well-rounded individuals, and through this event I definitely got a glimpse of the Japanese culture. Thank you Cherry Blossom Festival!
