Nick's student exchange life in both Japan & Taiwan: Japan traditional games (Interaction activity)

This activity is organized by the local Japanese student. It is actually a presentation session by the foreign students about their countries to let the Japanese students know more about our cultures. Jess is presenting today so I come to give her some moral support. After that, we have some Japanese traditional games and a snack party. The snacks are great and awesome.

This is actually a Japanese traditional game. The person who played will need to close his eyes with a piece of cloth. His friends will give him instructions to put the eyes, ears, nose, mouth & eye browns on the paper face. There are a lot of different parts which you can exchange and make your own special face with your eyes closed. Sometimes, you can make some good looking face but sometimes, you will just make out some horrible face.

This can be considered as an ugly face with a cute pig nose. Haha...

Here are some of the group members trying to match the parts of the face.

This is another Japanese traditional game. There are plenty of cards there. Inside these cards, we have symbols of male, female and bold guy. When you get the male card, you can keep it. When you get the bold guy card, you have to give up your entire card and put it to the centre of the circle. When you are lucky to gets the female card, you can claim all the cards at the centre of the circle as yours. The games continue until all the card at the centre is finished being taken. The person who has the most card will be considered as the winner.

This is the Snake Games. I think we also have such game in Malaysia.

There are 7 person playing the game. Nick, Jess, Miki, Nami, Furi, Sayaa & Akane.

I nearly win the game as I am the leading one until there are five more steps towards the end of the throne. I accidentally get my step on the sign of “start all over at the beginning”.
