That is a typical prom in Brazil. Students have a party when they finish the eighth grade. There is a formal celebration, a diploma-giving, then the party. Everybody has a lot of fun. Teachers go crazy and also the students. We generally forget the bad happenings during the school year and become friends at all. At this prom, I danced a lot and had a great time. My students and colleagues couldn't believe the 'new' teacher they were looking at. Work deeply, have fun deeply.

Maybe my Brazilian friends will ask me why I have posted it. Well, I'll explain it right now. Students in Japan do not have proms. That's it!
You can see more pics from that prom at my photo albums: http://kaijindesaque.multiply.com or http://picasaweb.google.com/rafaelmdurante/
See you!
(Soon I'll post everything in Japanese and English, I promise!)
Post scriptum: Este blog foi feito exclusivamente para a viagem ao Japão. A intenção é mostrar aos dois povos (Brasil e Japão) as diferenças e/ou semelhanças culturais entre ambos. Portanto, escolhi o idioma inglês como meio de atingir às duas culturas. Quando tiver tempo e saco, escreverei em português, também. Sacaste?
