Day 562 { Group Quiz }


After work today, I went by the college in Niimi. Some exchange students were there from a University in Kyoto. I think all the students were from the USA and were either majoring or minoring in Japanese studies... When I got there, a quiz was going on and I was placed in group #4 of 4 groups. My group won the quiz... but initially, we were tied for first place and a representative from the winning groups had to janken( rock, paper, sissors ) to decide the winner....And that was how we eventually won.... We got a prize along with the second and third place groups but the 4th place group got nothing.... I felt bad for them as they all had this sad look on their faces.... Oh well...


Questions would be asked and a representative from each group should hold up the correct answer on a piece of paper.....The answer should preferably be in Kanji.... Questions like:

What is the name of the new Japanese President ( Hatoyama Yukio )
What is the height in Meters of Mount Fuji ( 3,776 Metres )
What is the population of Niimi ( 35,022 )

were asked.
