Bowing is a Japanese traditional custom. I really like it because it is useful and pleasant when someone bows to me. I think bow has many meaning in each situation. For example, when we are greeting, it means “nice to meet you”, when we bow for boss or elder people, it means “respect” and in sports, we also often bow, we bow for “acclaim” each other. I like this way the most. In soccer game we bow each other before and after the game, before the game, bow means “nice to meet you and has a good game” and after the game, it means “good game and thank you”. Some team players often bow for field too, before they go in to the field, it means “please keep an eye on our game”. Bow is really casual custom but really polite. I feel pride about it.

My festival type is dashi. I weared speciai costume . For example ,tabi is old type footwear and obi means your waist to hold up your clothes and decoration .
And I show special dance for people. Then people give moneys for showers. This money is management money or we use drinking and eating.

This week’s podcast features Naoki Z and Yuuta’s Campus News added to week 2’s podcast.
Enjoy the weekend!
In this class, we started to edit a podcast show using our interview audio files, stingers and music with Garageband. If you use a Windows OS it is possible to use Audacity to edit audio files. Our next element for the podcast show is ‘Camus News’. Find some interesting events, news or information that is related to J. F. Oberlin University and prepare a 2~3 minute report. We will add it to our podcast show next week. Thanks for your hard work!
