KANJI !!!!!!!!!!!!

After lunch we all headed to the New Zealand student classroom (a classroom just for us which is also known as seminar room 32). As soon as we entered, everything was laid out with paper on the desk and the calligraphy teacher waiting for us. Our main activity today was doing calligraphy and writing in Kanji. Writing in Kanji was really really hard, especially with ink and a brush . The teacher wrote our names both in Katakana and Kanji. Katakana was mostly easy because of less line dashes. However, kanji on the other hand was hard. At first trying to mimic the teachers exemplar was difficult but as I kept doing it, I eventually got used to it. I had managed to write quite a lot of stuff such as my name, my buddies name, my surname etc.  

​After this lesson, one thing I realised about myself is that ​I am really bad at calligraphy. When I went back home, I told my host mother where she suggested that we should do more. Even with her helping me, I was still hopeless. Again, it made me realise that calligraphy was just not for me. In the end we improvised with Daiki (Rie's brother) printing out names in Kanji and I traced over it. I eventually got there, even though I traced most of the time. 😂
