^{International "Hinamatsuri" in Karatsu}

Hi, everyone.
You know, I belong to a group called "Karatsu Volunteer Guide". It is a group of good will language guides. On March the 7th, we had an international program of Hinamatsuri Party inviting 32 foreigners who live and work in Katratsu.
March the 3rd is the Hinamatsuri Day, but we made it on Sunday so that many people can come.
Our group members and good will citizens were almost 30 people. So 60 people got together, and had a very good time.
Please enjoy the photos.

Thank you for joining our Hinamatsuri.
Language is not a barrier at all where there are many smiles.

I hope to see you next month again.
