Japanese students visit Soka Ikeda College "We discovered several similar things between the two nations from rice as staple food to festivals ... But, the food here is spicy"

CHENNAI:
It looked more like a meeting among long-lost friends at Soka Ikeda College at Madhanankuppam near Ambattur. Except that the students were from two different nations, and strangers just a couple of hours earlier.
The entire college wore a festive look as 21 Japanese students, including two men, visited the college on a two-day cultural exchange programme. The local students bid adieu to class sessions for a few hours and explained to the visiting group what Indian values and traditions were.
The classrooms were transformed into a platform for cultural exchange wherein the girls sang their traditional songs, spoke about their food and education. Japanese students surprised their Indian counterparts by easily adapting to Indian customs. While they enacted sumo wrestling, Soka Ikeda students sang Tamil songs.
