[Akimatsuri 2020] Feeling like you aren't getting to meet new people in this virtual semester? No worries! You can meet people outside of your class at our speed-friending event at Akimatsuri. We’ve designed a set of autumn-themed questions to get the conversation started. Don’t worry about any potential awkwardness—just enjoy the experience and get to know your fellow Smithies!

[Akimatsuri 2020] Starting to feel the autumn atmosphere? It’s a season of appetite! We will guide you through Japanese typical foods of fall with some cultural backgrounds and teach you a recipe for a Japanese traditional dish. Have some food handy, or you might be hungry throughout the rest of Akimatsuri!

[Akimatsuri 2020] Want to play a Japanese word game? Meet with some friends and enhance your vocabulary and reaction speed! Shiritori is a game where people come up with words that start with the syllable that the last word ended with. For example, “akimatsuri" (autumn festival) could be followed by “ringo" (apple). Careful, it’s harder than it seems!
