Lodging at Soni Highlands   (May 1 & 2, 2013)
The first year students of our JHS went to the Soni highlands which is located in the eastern part of Nara prefecture.
Though it was rainy last year, fortunately the skies were fine or a little cloudy this year. It was, however, unusually cold.
On the first day, students enjoyed walking up Mt. Kuroso which is famous for its shape, height and the annual event called Yamayaki (a controlled burning of the pampas grasslands on the mountain) .
In the evening they had a gathering where they deepened their bonds of friendship with each other through a ceremony using candles, a singing contest and a quiz game. At the end of the evening, some teachers sang songs while accompanied on the guitar. Students listened to the music intently and then gave very appreciative applause.
Then, on the second day, using firewood, they boiled rice and made beef curry.
