Yesterday was the opening ceremony for the Waseda SILS Program. It was held in the Okuma Auditorium, which is 125 year-old building with a clock tower. The number 125 is apparently special because the founder of the school and twice prime minister Okuma Shigenobu believed people could live to be a potential age of 125. I also finally found out that there are 240 kids in my program, most are some sort of Chinese.
Before the program began, I visited the Theater Museum on Waseda's Campus with my host family. It was a recreation of Shakespeare's Globe Theater or something, and contained a lot of translated plays and stage artifacts from the past 100 years.
It was free and very boring.

I saw the words "Opening Ceremony," and I thought immediately of the store. :< Either way, have you seen the Vivienne Westwood show? J'adore!
