Thank you so much for letting us know about this event Catherine.
It was so well organised. The costumes were magnificent, the food was delicious, the entertainment (singers, dancers, martial arts, Taiko...)was so superb: we totally forgot we were still in London !!!
Shannon got her shopping done (biscuits,sweets,drinks,and her very own Japanese tea cup to recreate her version of the Tea Ceremony every day !)
And to top it all, your son Rodolphe and my children all participated in a Japanese language class where the other students were left mouth opened wide to witness 4 children knowing so much already ! So all credit to you Catherine ! You do an excellent job.
