Day Nine - Tea Ceremony, Calligraphy Class, Tataki making and.....Sayonara Party

Today was our final day in Kuroshio-Cho and we are being given a sayonara party.  We are going to try and give our speeches in Japanese to thank our homestay families.  We will make a fish dish for them and also give them a present of our best calligraphy.  Today we had a TV camera following us around all day - Wade
