Suikawari (西瓜割り) - Watermelon Splitting

Friday 13th November 2009 - Students from Bundah College went to Nara Park for our yearly 日本の遠足 (Japanese excursion). Focus of our trip? Japanese culture. Therefore.... WATERMELON SMASHING!!!!!!!!!

And food. And Japanese games.

So here we have the awesome Joe, blindfolded and totally the master of watermelon smashing.

Here's a Wiki link if you wanted to read up on this. Think of it as a Japanese Watermelon Pinata game. :D http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suikawari

Many thanks to Joe-sensei and Monchi-sensei who took us, and also many thanks to everyone who went and made it awesome. :D
