A few days ago we had a big celebration starting morning practice with Suganuma Sensei followed by a great presentation of various techniques from all the dojo´s in Fukuoka area. The occasion was the 15. Anniversary of Honbu Dojo, Fukuoka. This was a day of entusiasm and happiness. Many people had practiced on their demonstations for weeks, for us to see. I feel grateful that I could be there to see what they have prepared and to participate in the celebration.
Later on that day we had a nice buffet with too much food and good company. We were only four foreigners attending, but we got the chance to honor Honbu dojo and Suganuma Sensei by singing "Happy Birthday To You" in 3 languages and in english.
And later that day I was invited to go to karaoke! Wich is by the way a great place to learn some hiragana. Why? Because you can hear what the person is singing and the hiragana is on the screen. This helps you know the sounds of a japanese word so later if you see the hiragana you will know what word it is. Hopefully you will finally know what the word means as well and not only how it sounds..
