As part of our school’s International Week activities, Kuen Cheng High School Jap-
anese Language Society held a Bon Odori Festival in the school hall during the 2nd recess
of 28th July 2023. Students piled into the hall, buzzing with anticipation.

Once everyone took their seats, the hosts announced the start of the festival to
cheers and claps.

The first activity that was held was the Japanese culture-sharing session, which was
presented by the ten exchange students all the way from the Tokyo Jogakkan Middle and
High School, Japan. They introduced Japanese cuisine, shops, trains, and cities all while
speaking English. Applause and cheering could be heard every time they paused, for ev-
eryone was very encouraged and excited, especially when the students began explaining
anime.

They also introduced their school life, such as their daily schedule and the school

facilities. Many students were awed when they introduced their school uniform, which
was sailor suit-styled and varied according to each of the four seasons.
