First, I took charge of the booth of “Japanese cultural exchange.”  At the tea ceremony corner, there were not so many chances for me to interpret because the foreign visitors concentrated on drinking tea or feeling the atmosphere.  On the other hand, the visitors rushed to the kimono corner where they reserved to wear kimono.  I interpreted conversations between the visitors and the staff while the visitors were waiting for a long time or while they were helped to put on kimono.  Then I took charge of the booth of “Introduction of OT operation,” where the machines expressing language by such an easy operation as buttoning and the helping tool for stationery made of silicon were exhibited.
