Episode 2: Salvete et Konnichiwa

We are already hard at work in our core language classes! We also heard an informative lecture about the Japanese political system from Randolph-Macon College's Dr. Lauren Bell. She went in depth about the structure of the Japanese government, the sociopolitical context behind it, and the different parties involved. We then socialized with our sister academy, the Latin Academy, and we each learned each other's language. Then we started our chihou (region) projects. We used the computers to research different topics about each of our own regions. Then we ended off the day with an enjoyable Studio Ghibli film, Howl’s Moving Castle, which we enjoyed a lot.
