I had another jam packed day for my first full day in Aichi. Since it was easier to meet up with friends on the weekend, I was booked solid the entire day. It also meant I had to carry a load of souvenirs and presents with me from the moment I left the hotel in the morning (popularity has its downfalls lol). As it was still early, I started my morning off browsing through some of the shops at Meieki….
Another delegation come and gone! The time seems to fly by so quickly during the week of the delegation. It’s hard to believe the amount of activities we packed into their schedule during their stay in Mississauga! The delegate who came to stay with us this year was named Mika. She was super cute and we had lots of fun taking her around places in Mississauga and Toronto. Since it was also her first time traveling abroad, the trip was…
先日トロントで祭りが行われました。日本の祭りに行ったことがないので比べることができませんが、カナダの祭りは本当に楽しかったです。友達が浴衣を貸してくれました。初めて自分で浴衣を着ることができました。浴衣はピンクの花柄がついていて、とても綺麗でした。祭りの場所は狭く、すごく混んでいました。どこへ行っても並ばないと、食べられませんでした。最初に焼きそばと焼き鳥を食べました。味は美味しくなかったです。やはり、唐揚げが一番おいしかったです。唐揚げの列は長蛇の列で一時間も待つとは信じられませんでした！！ 帰る前に、「神様はじめました」という漫画のキャラクターを見つけました巴衛くんが大好きな私はニセモノの巴衛くんと一緒に写真を撮りました！最高でした♡ 今度は日本の祭りに行きたいです。蒸し暑いのは苦手ですが、絶対乗り越えたいと思います！

By the time I got to Kariya Park that day there were already a lot of people waiting. The Mayor had been attending a luncheon…
After all the festivities from Canada Day, everyone deserved a good rest on Saturday, which was a free day for all the delegates and the host families. I on the other hand, had to returned to work at the library. T__T Sunday was the official ‘Farewell’ Party. While it technically wasn’t the last day for the delegates, it was a good time for everyone to have one last group dinner together. Dinner was held at the Port Credit Yacht Club,…
