Welcome Dinner
Entry 6 of 11 | show all | print this entry |
|
It is a quiet Sunday morning in Fukuoka, the kids are all at their homestay families. Brandon got his wallet back yesterday. We all met last night for an elegant dinner at the Shouhakuen Hotel. Chris Tokita did a good job of leading the students in the Mele Kahea with his ipu. Our students were definitely feeling the effects of jet lag, but they did very well and I was proud of them. Chloe's host family had taken her on a trip, so she wasn't there and Jadyne did her part with the pu'ilis. Amy wasn't feeling well, so she didn't hula, but Lyndsey and Kate danced well while the students sang Royal Hawaiian Hotel and Kaneohe. Kristen gave a nice welcoming speech. Afterwords, there was a lot of picture taking and good interaction between the kids.

Thanks for all the entries and pictures. You all look so nice all dressed up (Guess we have to wait to see pictures of Chloe in her dress). Hope you are all taking care of yourselves (Amy, hope you are feeling better). Have fun and keep up the great job on the postings and pictures.
Hope you all had fun and enjoyed the experience with your host families.
