Yesterday night, as part of the International Summer Medical School programme for the Kagawa students, there was a traditional dance workshop organised by Mariah. It was great fun for both the Japanese and IM students as well as the members of staff who came to watch. The Japanese students were eager in learning the dance moves and were quite fast to catch on. Below are some pictures of them learning the dance moves. The dance, "Adai-adai", will be performed by the Japanese students and their buddies on the farewell dinner on the 24th August.
