Recital

 Yesterday was my recital at Mukogawa Women's University. The first photo is a look at the hall. I know what you're thinking, I was expecting a larger crowd, too. Actually, there were about 250 people in attendance.

The next photo shows Godzilla at the piano:

Here is a photo of me, Professor Miyashita (coordinator of the exchange program), and Dr. Masuko (at whose home I stayed). Dr. Masuko also translated for me when I spoke about the different pieces on the program.

 After the recital, there was a reception with the Dean of the College of Music. Then, we went out for sushi, which was paid for by the dean. This particular restaurant utilized a new trend in Japanese sushi, known as "sushi on the beltway." Basically, there is a conveyer belt that passes by all of the tables, and on the belt are all the different types of sushi. If you see something you like, you just grab it off the belt. That was no problem for me, as you see in the next photo.

 This method of serving food is such a good idea from a business perspective. I wish they would adapt it to restaurants in the USA, such as tapas bars.

Tomorrow, I will have photos from my daytrip to Kyoto.
