On Wednesday we got together at Chiaki's house to try and get ready for Broomfield Days on Saturday. We were supposed to make origami boxes for our booth, but that didn't happen. In total we made about six paper dolls. One from Chiaki, two from my sister, one from me, Laura, and Grace.
While we were doing that and just talking, Chiaki had the movie The Ramen Girl, playing. About a quarter of the time when we were watching it, we were asking to each other, 'what is this movie'? Chiaki also skipped over a bunch of parts, so we were kind of confused.
It wasn't until around seven forty did Jared and Jack show up, the girls had already started eating by that time. Udon noodles and chicken nuggets (not the McDonald's type). Thank you Chiaki! It was delicious!
That wasn't the most productive meeting we had. The last time we were at Chiaki's house, we were doing last minute practice (even though we ended up practicing at the hotel and at an office space in Ueda as well) of our dance. We practiced outside in the backyard, and because the backyard faced towards the street, we may have scared some people who were walking, and maybe some drivers.
If you're in the Broomfield area, you should come swing by the Broomfield Sister Cities booth. We'll explain more about the trip and of hosting the delegates from Ueda for next summer. You could even try on some kimonos! If not, you'll just hear about Broomfield Days from my blog.
