Oshaberi Kai !

Last Saturday I went for this event organized by Japanese teachers from NUS, called Oshaberi Kai. Literally meaning "Talking Meet".

Many Japanese people living in Singapore were invited to talk to us, students studying Japanese! It was a day of non-stop talking in Japanese. =D

This is them in Singapore Botanic Gardens, getting ready to set off for the Treasure Hunt.

I was not there because I'm a directional loser and so at that time I was still busy losing my way there. :(

Shall never trust GoThere.sg ever again!

It told me to take a bus to some place and walk 10 mins from there...but it turns out that there was no way to walk to Botanic Gardens from there! I kept ending up at dead ends in a private housing estate area which was the direction the toot website told me to walk in. Grawr!

By the time I reached, they were back from the Treasure Hunt and were giving out prizes ~

Can you guess who are Japanese?

After that, it was time for the main event - picnic!

Preparing the picnic mats and food ~

I was busy eating and didn't notice the camera until it was too late.. =/

It is actually rather easy to tell whether females are Japanese...just look at the way they sit!

I have no idea how they do it, I find it rather uncomfortable. : /









I realized that Japanese really love sweet stuff!

Not like cakes or chocolate that kind but food in general. There was this Japanese who offered us her homemade food, which were what seemed like small fishes in a dark brown sauce and brown beans the size of 50 cent coins.

I took a bite into both...and both were SWEEET!!! I love sweet stuff like chocolates and sweets, but real food marinated in sweet sauce? Not really~ :/

Then the Japanese couple I was talking to closed their eyes as if to savour the taste and squealed "Oishii"(delicious)!

And they thought that Rojak was very spicy lol~

The organisers ending the speech in Japanese! ~

Thank you for organizing this event! :)
