After a whole morning of busy game scheudles, everyone took a break and enjoy the “deep fried pork curry rice”, socalled “Katsukare” in Japan which has the meaning of the “winning curry”. This is a traditional Japanese menu to be served at sports day or before examinations in Japan for wishing the participants with good luck! 

 

 

The afternoon section began with the cheering team competition. Each cheering team did their very best in cheering for their own teams after practising day after day for the event. All teams were so unique and enthusiastic, it was really difficult for the judges in choosing the winner.
