Hi my name is Ava! I'm traveling from Texas to Tokyo, Japan, for a school field trip to learn about their amazing culture!

I'm as happy as a pig in mud!

We Have finally arrived! I can't wait to meet my new friend! The air is as fresh as a flower!

Hello! I'm Ava, very nice to meet you. What ´ s your name?

Konichiwa! That is how we say ¨hello¨ in Japan. My name is Ren!

Wow! I cant wait to explore more about your culture.

While saying hello, we bow to show respect.

Here in Japan, school is different from yours. we have no janitors and instead, we are taught to clean up after ourselves.

 How interesting!

They left the school to walk around the city...

Ichiran ramen

Ichiran ramen is my favorite place to eat!

Their wonderful noodles will have you asking for 10 more bowls! Lets enjoy a meal while we talk more!

¨Sounds Yummy!¨

¨here's your ramen!¨

Arigato!

Thank you!

Arigato! That means thank you in japanese.

And ¨Douzo¨ is how we say please!

*SLURP*

America thinks how we eat noodles is not very ideal, but that's just what we do to show we enjoy our meal!

while we eat we slurp a little loud, that's what we were taught and we are proud.
