学祭

こんにちは、皆さん!
このブログが遅くなって、すみません!

きょうは、だいがくの学祭(がくさい, school festival)についてかきます。


日本では、まいとしがっこうとだいがくにがくさいがあります。

The school festival is a time where all of the school's or university's clubs get together and run a stall, or put on a show. The entire campus was full of stages, food stalls, and even a flea market! If you went into the buildings, some clubs were using the rooms to run a cafe, or to let people try on kimonos. There was even a haunted house-themed room. (I didn't go in, I was too scared >.<)

This is where the a cappella clubs were performing. I'm sorry I couldn't get a better angle, but it was so packed!

This is the flamenco club's performace at one of the main stages:

And some of the food stalls:

とてもにぎやかでした。そして、たべものもおいしかったです。

The school festival is a really big event in the university's year. Everyone comes out to show their support, and some people brought along their families too. I'm so glad I got to experience one! こんなイベントをたいけんできて、よかったです!

Just one last picture - it's the adorable mascot for the school festival on one of the signs by the main stage. かわいいですね。


つぎに、こうようについてかきたいとおもいます。「こうよう」って何のことか、皆さんしっていますか。
