School Festival フォ~~~~~~~

Yep that’s me alright, hammer in hand ready to dish out pain to the naughty 1-5 class!!
"Child abuse" I hear you say, nay it is but the Junten school festival.

Sunday and Monday (today) have been taken up with the school festival, basically every class holds some kind of money making event.
There were food stalls (yaki soba, tako yaki, yakitori and so on) events such as the haunted house where the kids scare the crap out of you! (Me and Ben found ourselves screaming at every turn much to the delight of the school kids) and "expos" where clubs show off their skills (baton twirling, kendo, shorinji kempo etc).

The school festival is a great way to really get to know all the pupils, with them dragging you around to their stalls and making you buy all their products, it was soo much fun, but oh so tiring.

Today the last day of the festival meant one thing and one thing only....... AFTER PARTY. This after party was the single most weirdest yet awesomist (whoop made up word) thing ever! At first you had the kids doing karaoke which was ok, but then it came to the teachers!

Isshi-sensei and Wada-sensei took to the mic, they belted out what can only be described as "a crazy Japanese song" and the kids went mental! Like catnip to well er cats they rushed the stage and danced about, this was about 60 or so people on a tiny stage, it was really a spectacle to be seen. The other thing that made this even more fantastic is that Wada-sensei and Isshi-sensei are two of the quietest guys at Junten but give them a stage, mic and crazy Japanese song and they are transformed into asian Elvises.

All in all its been a great weekend, all that is left is clean up day tomorrow :( well at least we get thursday-sunday off!

P.s did I forget to mention I sung "can’t hurry love" by the Supremes on stage in front of parents and alike? More to come on that later, with a VIDEO!
