Last Saturday, we GAiGO students took part in International Bus Tour organised by Kagoshima International Citizen Society, or KICS as one of the volunteer staff. This annual event is a “One Day Mini Journey and Some of the aims are to deepen understanding Kagoshima and to create an opportunity to study local traditional culture as a group. My job was like an interpreter and bus conductor. We had prepared a lot for this tour, so I really wanted that the participants would enjoy themselves.

Our destination of this year was Satsuma-Sendai City in which we visited Iriki Samurai Residence Area, Imuta Lake and Sendai-Sengoku-Mura, a major company to produce Japanese traditional armour and props for TV dramas and movies. At Imuta Lake we had tug-of war and played sword fight. The People seemed really enjoying the games. I also had fun.

Through being the interpreter, I really felt my English isn’t enough to express what I want to say. Although I don’t want to be it, I just have to be able to do that! Anyways, the tour was great opportunity not only to experience that, but also to have a good time.
