わたし は ともだtち と で しょど を しました。
しょど を むずらかしです。
we did some Japanese calligraphy i have a picture of my attempt however its probably less insulting and less embarrassing to me, not to put it online.
we played a game similar to pin the tail on the donkey, you look at the face, then you are blind folded. You are then handed piece by piece features of the face which you have to place down in the correct area. This is my friend Matthew and his wife Anna trying it out, his attempt is far better to mine, i had eyebrows and eyes mixed up... don't laugh they tricket you by having eye shaped eyebrows and moon/eyebrow shaped eyes!
It was good fun and far superior to pin the tail on the donkey. A little disconcerting being blindfolding with my friend sniggering next to me though.
My face... see i did well apart from the eyebrow/eye issue.
After Alison played for us she let me have a go myself at playing sakura sakura, it was really easy. :) basically worked like Tabs for guitar string/number 778 778 876... etc.. thats not sakura sakura but it was something like that. I do imagine however it gets much much more complicated.
It was a really nice morning, in a old church in Edinburgh and i'm glad i popped by we did some origami watched a tea ceremony and a flower arranging demonstration.
I should point out this wasn't all for fun, there was a little stall selling various Japanese trinkets and books,(i bought two children's books, it seems silly but 9months ago i couldn't have even read the front cover so its good to know i could know slowly converse with a Japanese toddler about literature.) there was also a raffle which i lost 6 times, and donation boxes around the room.
They were raising money for the tsunami appeal which is incredibly important and vital charity providing help to the victims of the tsunami and quake disasters.
