Fresh from the awards ceremony last night, where Jacob and Rick walked away with both the ‘Creative Concept’ and Grand Prix Awards, all the finalists have continued on their ‘cultural experience’ tour of Japan
Day three started with a visit to a local Japanese school which was ‘a very cool experience’, with all the finalists meeting the schoolchildren then being treated to some traditional Japanese entertainment. This included a martial arts demonstration in which everyone was invited to participate. The finalists from every nation then presented traditional gifts from each of their countries to the school as a token of their appreciation. To end the day everyone boarded the Shinkansen bullet train heading for Kyoto at an amazing three hundred kilometres per hour.

The finalists have one more day left in Tokyo in which they will do some more sightseeing as well as attending a farewell party, and will be posting the last video diary right here on the blog.
Once again we would like to take this opportunity to congratulate Rick and Jacob on an amazing achievement. Well done boys!
