Getting up early was a bit difficult, after all it was a day to visit Professor Sadoshima Saori. Todays breakfast was prepared by our Sir Vasant, Ishan and Omkar. Yuri ma'am accompanied us for breakfast.
As we set out at 9:30am we took a train, after which we had to change two trains to reach the final destination (professor Sadoshima's place). Walking to her place, on the way there was a pond where people were fishing (as a hobby not hurting the fishes). Also there were ducks in that pond.
The moment we reached at her house, she was really glad to see us. She had a beautiful yard. Then she allowed us to pluck, Kaki the traditional japanese fruit, it was really good. As per the Japanese people, we peel the skin first and then have it. Then we entered her house and each one of us gave a gift as a token of love and appreciation to her. Most of the gifts were handmade and lovely.
Prof. Sadoshima taught us to make sushi and we also made one of our own which was very interesting. Then we had our lunch with sushi, beans and chicken specially prepared by her loving mother. there was someone we cannot miss out, that was April (name), who was born in April, helped prof Sadoshima a lot. it was nice to meet her. She is a student of Waseda University and is working as a tutor in writing centre.
then ma'am organised an amazing game BINGO. It was full of fun and excitement. There were lots of prizes for the winners for which there was a competitive spirit. After that Prof. Sadoshima served us with tea and snacks. The snacks were delicious. Then she took our signatures on her visitor's book as a memory.
At last while leaving we met her parent's. they were very happy to see us and finally took a leave with a "Sayonara".
