Japanese Culture stand in Thailand.

My amazing other half, Noot has been very busy the last few days. At her university they have had a science fair on. Noot and some of her friends were asked by her Japanese teacher to help do a Japanese stand. So this meant getting up at 6 am and then spending all day on her feet, this she is just not used to.

Noot can read Japanese well and also speak to a basic communication standard. I learnt Japanese many years ago but never kept up with it sadly. I have been to Japan 2 two times and it is a beautiful country. I was impressed with the people especially where I stayed. It is the best of the Asian destinations I have travelled by a long way.

So Noot would dress up in a kimono style outfit, it isn’t called a kimono though. They would have people dressed in these outfits throughout the day and then people could be dressed in them and have their pictures taken for a small price. Noot said that the last three days she has been very, very busy.

Here is Meow, Noot her Annie.

Here are two of Noot’s friends, Noon and the other girl, I don’t know.

Noot and her close friend, Miss Noon.

This is another close friend Miss Annie.

Now dressing up in a Japanese outfit wasn’t the only thing on offer, they also had Japanese food. This is what Noot had to go and prepare early everyday; she and her friends would go to the Japanese teacher’s house and make the Japanese food. It sold like hotcakes and would have to make more through the day but demand always outstripped supply.

This is Noot’s Japanese teacher, Miss Fukimo Fumiko and she is really popular with the students as she is very nice they have said and also she has “white skin”. Thais, especially girls want to be white.

Noot’s sister Ben was also at the university as her school was doing a dancing show. Here Ben is dressed in the usual Thai outfit for “lum” style dancing.

Here Ben is in action on the stage. It is funny as Ben is still pretty shy when it comes to getting her to do things, like go and ask for something in a shop or ask someone something but on a stage she will dance and sing in front of thousands of people without showing any nerves.

So this is just a few of the many pictures Noot took on her camera, my old point and shoot digital. It looked like a good time but as Noot said “very tiring”. I am happy as it means no more leg massages after tonight, well I hope so anyway.

Brunty.
