On February 20th, we had a farewell party for our host families. There was a lot of crying and we were sad to part. I will never forget my experience with my host family and hope to meet them again someday.
After the farewell party we headed to Matsushima and we visited the Zuiganji buddhist temple. Pictures inside the temple were not allowed, but I guarantee it is well worth the visit, especially with a guide! They will make you notice details you didn’t even know were there and make you marvel even more at the inspiring piece of architecture and art that is the temple.
At the end of the day, we travelled to Sendai by bus and had our workshop session. The workshop session was the time for all of us to devise our action plan for the next few months on how we will be promoting Japan in Canada.
