Kanda Technical High School Bunkasai

5/11 Kanda Technical School Bunkasai. This is the school that Ria works at once a week and is the high school for all the student that basically want to do a trade. These students are extrememly smart and learn to do things that I only starting learning about at uni. They built their own go-karts, work actively with lathes, built their own smelters, and compete in stuff like the robo-cup. (Sorry for those of you who don't about some of things I mentioned. Uni course people should). Ria mentioned to one of the teachers, Mr Tadashi, what my degree was and he invited me along to this day. It was very interesting to see what the student did and the Mr Tadashi was very interested in my thesis project (the apple picker). We arrived a little a little early and went up to this lovely man-made lake (Picture 1). Don't look too close or you will realise this beautiful scenerio also has smoke rising on the left and an open cut mountain on the right!! The second picture is of the smelter the students made for producing aluminium. It was amazing to see this is how they "made" metl back in the day. This 3rd picture is of a Go-Kart made by the students. The other three pictures are from the PAIPA- KURAFUTO KURABU.. the "paper craft club". They had models of so many things. I made a WW2 fighter plane... dont ask me the proper name of it! Sorry JB & Gary.
