JETAA Tea Ceremony Event Report
Learning the Ways of Japanese Tea
Sick of your everyday run of the mill Tim Horton’s Orange Pekoe? How about try something a little more rich and steeped with over 900 years of tradition?
On March 21st, friends and members of JETAA had the chance to do just that, by attending a Japanese Tea Ceremony here in Toronto. The ceremony was presented by the Discover Japan Program of the JCCC with the help of four knowledgeable teachers trained in the art and traditions of Sadou: Yamamoto-Sensei, Suzuki-Sensei, Tsugita-Sensei, and Ota-Sensei. Together they were able to help educate us in the proper techniques associated with drinking tea à la Japonais.

JETAA Midnight Curling Report
JETAA Toronto’s second annual curling event held Saturday, February 16th, 2013, was yet again a sweeping success as thirty-odd participants took to the ice at High Park Curling Club for a rockin’ evening! No puns intended.
Despite the blizzard, a solid crew of JET Alumni, JAVA members, (including a few bona fide working-holiday visitors from Japan), and assorted friends, turned out for the evening. Festivities began at Loons Pub out in the Roncey area, where some pre-game socializing was had over drinks and bites.
