I have had such a wonderful experience today. I visited two schools as part of the cultural exchange programme. The first school was for the mentally challenged students. It was a wonderful experience. When we got to the school, the first thing that struck me was our being asked to remove our shoes. They were replaced with green rubber like sandals. One thing that never ceases to amuse me is how Japanese sandals are made. They are manfactured in a way that the left side looks like the right side. But when you wear them, each foot fits perfectly in whatever sandal! I have never understood this.
I later learnt when I visited the second school that it is the norm to remove one's shoes and take on rubber same side looking sandals. In the second school, they were blue.
In both schools, the pupils were expecting us and had our faces on placcards and on their walls. It was really cute and touching. They knew our names and were SO excited! I cant describe the look on their small faces as we came into the rooms! It was priceless!
We were treated to the Okinawa dance in both schools and I had a chance to tell them more about Ouganda karakimashita( where I come from). And dont worry my Ugandans, I didnt disappoint you.:)
Oh theres lots to write but will let the photos do the talking. I better head out to bed. Its past 11pm! Catch ya later!
