Review of Bonodori Festival

Today's weather was perfect for Bonodori Festival.

It was awesome to perform on the huge stage.

I enjoyed dancing with audiences, and enjoyed watching Taiko Aiko Kai's drum performances.

Taiko Aiko Kai members performed three times.

CA trip

I just came back from California trip.

I enjoyed meeting with Okinawan people in CA as well as rehearsing with
our dance members.

 

カリフォルニアでの集中リハがおわり、ニューヨークにもどってきました。

 

加州は、沖縄人も多く、沖縄食もおいしくて、

大勢の沖縄人会の方々とも会えて、
 

地方の先生がたとのリハは、我が古郷の読谷村に帰ったような

思いになるほど。楽しい時間があっという間に過ぎてしまいました。

次回は１０月の本番前に加州に行くのが楽しみです。

 

加州での写真集をご紹介しましょう。

Today's Salad

 Today's dinner menue:
I purchased a small salad of Squid and Octopus, and I added other fresh vegetables: mushroom, cucumber, tomatoes, lettuce, celery and sweet peas. It became the HUGE salad below.
I also made NikuJaga and Gomoku Gohan.

 

 

I completed packing my luggage for CA trip for stage rehearsal, and

will report my trip in CA next week.

I am so ready for this trip!
