Fire Safety Day at the Kaikan

The staff that coordinates with the international students here at Oita-U is amazing. And simply hilarious! The teachers here are nice and more often than not, interact with the students outside of the classroom. Yes, even by coming all the way from the university to our dorms (located downtown) just to teach us fire safety.

I find it funny because the student teacher relationship brings me back to my grade school days. The teachers almost take us by the hand to teach us random things. Today, that random thing was fire safety.

So basically we had a meeting in which we were told to go back to our rooms. The fire drill came on and we walked back outside. Then we got to play with fire-extinguishers..And yes we did get to pull the pins and shoot them!! (there was only water inside)

The best part of the day was the "earthquake experience car" haha. this was actually a large truck that rolled up to the front of our dorms, had a built in kitchen that would shake simulating an authentic Japanese earthquake!!!

これはとても楽しかった。

大分のせいかつはよくおもしろいね。
