English language school in the heart of the Japanese Alps, and English language learners sharing their experiences online. Teachers post regular items about teaching, learning tools, events in the school, their day to day experiences living & working in a foreign country. Students post on whatever takes their fancy - book reports, festivals in home towns, postcards from business trips etc. A little Brit of England in the guts of Japan!

Strange festivals - La Tomatina
There is a contest called "Latomatina". The festval's rule is so simple. You throw tomatoes!
This festival started because one man threw a tomato to a one man for fun. The man who got hit got angry and he threw a tomato back. they were fighting with tomatoes and a lot of people started to join, and everyone was throwing tomatoes, so the festival started.
This festival is on August's last Wednesday. I want to do this contest because I like tomatoes!
Let's "Latomatina" !!
