The licorice wasn't a hit, as expected, we got a lot of hilarious facial expressions when they realized it was salty =) I had a great time, and the party afterwards was great as well! ;)10.20.2009
Kodomo Expo
Was asked by my boss a while back to help out at the Shimosuwa Kodomo (kids) Expo by creating a Swedish booth. I had no idea what to do though, but I got the advice to contact the Swedish embassy for help. They were really nice and sent me a bunch of brochures, a dalahäst, a Swedish outfit and organized for the tourism bureau to send me some posters. In addition to that, I had my brother send me a bunch of bags of salty licorice, and my friends and I painted this thing to stick your head through for a photo. Here are some pics from the event:

Looks cute, he he... ;)
ReplyDeleteI wonder, though, what the aftershow party at a kids' expo might be like. A wild party with tons of coke? (And by coke I mean Coca Cola, of course.)
But how can they not like salty licorice when they like jellyfish candy?
Dude, I don't know! Licorice is soooo much better than any of the Japanese sweets. I get offered these quite a lot, and I can't always get away with "eating it later" (never), so I have to force it down while smiling and saying how delicious it is!
ReplyDeleteThe party didn't include too many kids, only 2 that were there with their parents, but it involved a lot of food and even more drinks ;)
