After a (very) late and (rather) drunken night the night before (thanks to my supervisor ;) ), I took part in Minato Elementary school's international day - and it was fantastic!  The kids were absolutely brilliant, and their English is so good!  We were given a koto performance (and were even given brief lessons on the koto and shakuhachi).  The day went so quickly, and I had a really fantastic time!
