Sunset Market with Fuji city - by Miku

Hello everyone!
As I mentioned before, Fuji City is one of sister cities of Oceanside.  In the beginning of September, they went here again to join the Oceanside Sunset Market.  I worked as a volunteer with them.
(The article of their first visit is here)



Sunset market is located in downtown Oceanside and opened every Thursday evening.  It is really good event.  There are a lot of kinds of street stalls such as food and clothes.  In that time, they joined it for handing out Japanese green tea and some special products of Fuji city for free.


Because this year is 25th anniversary of friendship of Oceanside and Fuji City.

This is Fuji city booth.Fuji city has a lot of trees because it is located the foot of Mt. Fuji.

茶娘




Some Japanese Mira Costa students helped them as volunteers. They costumed 茶娘(Cha-musume) which is a girl who work in a tea plantation.

Almost all Japanese people love green tea.
But it has a unique taste.
So American people drank it with great interest.
