Day 4, 10th November, Learning traditions.
After having a hearty breakfast at ‘Doutor’ we went to Waseda University. We had a lecture on the perception of Japan. It was a very interactive class by Professor Pablo Figueroa and we enjoyed it thoroughly.

Later on, we partook in a tea ceremony. The host of the ceremony informed us in Japanese which was translated by Yuri-San about the ceremony and the manner we should drink it. We enjoyed every bit of the ceremony even the cup!

Then we had lunch in the university cafeteria. We had loads of options to choose from and every one of them tastes amazing. We then visited the writing center in Waseda University. We were also informed about the pocky festival which was celebrated on the same day. We were given a run through about the work the writing center handles. All of this over steaming coffee and chocolate pocky.
Then we went back to our hostel and grabbed a quick lunch ramen noodles and practiced for the India day.
