After touring a number of museums including the Toyota Museum, the Ceramic Museum and the Setogama Gallery with Mr. Kato (President Seto Rotary), Dr. Kato and Setsuko Hirao (PhD), we were dashed off to a
welcome party given to us by two Seto area Rotary Clubs. The welcome party was held at "Goro Goro" which was described to us as a sakae bar. In addition to the delicious food (which
included a mix of traditional
Japanese food and...pizza) we were all encouraged to sing our respective national anthems. After listening to the Japanese National Anthem and without hesitation, we sang the Canadian and the American Anthems. I was fortunate to have some help singing "Oh Canada" from Evonne, the closet Canadian, and Christie, Seto's Canadian exchange student (from Saskatoon). While at the party, we were also presented with beautiful paintings from a local artist,
Hideyuki Oazwa. Thank you to all the Rotarians for such a wonderful party.
