We recently hosted a gentlemen from Japan who was in town with a Rotary Exchange Group. Ryukai Seto was one of five in the group who arrived on Sept. 2 and stayed until Sept. 5. Ryukai is a Buddhist priest and teaches young priests to chant. He is very active in the Rotary Exchange program and had traveled extensively. However, his English was not so good. We did manage some decent conversations, and Wayne escorted him to many of the activities. Wayne arranged a visit to Blue Cloud Abbey here in NE South Dakota where one of the monks gave them a tour of the chapel and the Native American museum. It was a good cultural experience for us and I hope for the group from Japan.
looks like fun, did you introduce him to NASCAR?????!!!!
ReplyDeleteNo! He wasn't here on race day. ha. But Dad took him to a Watertown High School football game. He wasn't too impressed and they left at half-time! He WAS impressed with Cirque du Soleil, Dad's Native American flutes, and my pasta salad. Of course!
