July 14 & 15 Homestay Farewell & Hida Folk Village

Hi, this is Shanice Duong, I'm going to tell you what we have done the last couple of days in Japan.
On Wednesday, it was our last day at our homestay. :( We had to get all of our things packed up and ready to go. It was a sad day for everyone, we really loved our host families, they made it feel like a home for us. When the day was almost over, we had a farewell party near the 1998 Nagano Olympics. There was dancing, drums, and fireworks. Some of our delegation members got to play them.
On thursday, we went to Hida No Sato, a folk village and saw these very old fashioned houses. They're all made out of wood, and no nails. They were really amazing, these houses are still very strong and are able to survive in the winter. For lunch, we had a bento box, and udon.
