Among all of the foreigners living in Nomi city, Vietnamese are the most in numbers. As of October of last year, of 1,443 foreign nationals there were 523 Vietnamese, comprising 36,2% of foreign citizens.
On Saturday January, 25 that was New Year’s day on Vietnamese calendar we conducted an International Exchange Salon at Neagari General Culture Hall. There were more applications than the planned capacity, 73 participants in total (there were about equal numbers of Vietnamese and Japanese). The celebration thus turned into a big success. There were even participants from far away – Niigata and Toyama prefectures.
First, there was a presentation about New Year in Vietnam, and then we had traditional New Year Bánh chưng (rice cakes) and rare sweets. Next, we had a lot of communication through popular Vietnamese games. There were group competitions where anybody from young to old could enjoy the contents. Everybody sang Japanese and Vietnamese songs, and in the end there was a dancing competition and a Bingo game with wonderful presents.
This time the event was planned mainly by local Vietnamese. We would like to thank all of the people who helped.
At the next Salon we will enjoy Chinese New Year. Please make sure to apply beforehand!

2020 New Year Party conducted
English translation below.

令和2年1月19日(日)、毎年恒例のニューイヤーパーティーを寺井地区公民館で開催しました。今年は102人の参加者で、会場はとても賑やかな雰囲気となりました。パーティー開始時間になると同時に軽快なサルサの音楽が流れ、Nomi Salsa Vivaceの５人のダンサーが素敵な踊りで会場のみなさんを魅了しました。井出市長と喜多会長の挨拶の後は、世界的にもブームになったけん玉のパフォーマンスです。石川県けん玉協会の方が、見たこともない大技の数々を披露してくれました。昼食を楽しんだ後も、けん玉検定の合格を目指して、日本人も外国人もみんな真剣に、楽しみながら技に挑戦していました。
午後からはテーブルごとに、百人一首のかるたを使って坊主めくりを楽しみました。手持ちの札が一番多い人が勝ちですが、坊主の絵札を引くと手札を全て手放すことになるので、坊主の絵札が出たときは大変盛り上がりました。
今回は11の国から参加があったので、各テーブルの坊主めくりで１位になった人達が自己紹介をしました。モンゴル、ミャンマー、インドなど様々な国の中で、今回ベトナムの方が一番多く参加していました。次は空き缶を使って缶タワーのゲームをしました。制限時間内に一番多くの缶を積んだチームの勝ちです。途中で崩れたりしながらも、みんなで力を合わせてタワーを作りました。
ゲームを通してたくさん交流した後は、瀧上副会長の挨拶で締めくくり、パーティーは盛会のうちに終了しました。

On Sunday January, 19 2020 we have conducted the annual New Year Party at Terai District Public Hall. This year we had 102 participants, so it was a very lively event.
With the beginning of the Party, jaunty salsa music filled the air and 5 dancers from nomi Salsa Vivace charmed the audience with beautiful dancing. After greetings by city mayor Mr. Ide and Association president Mrs. Kita there was a performance of kendama (Japanese bilboquet), which is now a boom in the world. Members of Ishikawa Prefecture Kendama Association performed a lot of elaborate tricks that no one in the audience have seen before. After lunch both Japanese and foreigners seriously but with fun took to the tricks trying to pass the qualification exams for kendama.
In the afternoon we played a game of Bōzumekuri using Hyakunin Isshu cards. The winner is a player with most number of cards on hands, but if he picks a card with a monk drawn on it he has to give up all of his cards. So it was a burst of emotions every time a monk card came out.
This time we had participants from 11 countries, so winners at each of the tables did a self introduction. Among representatives of Mongolia, Myanmar, India and other countries, this time the Vietnamese were in most numbers. The next game was making towers with empty cans. The winner was a team that produced the tallest tower within the set time limit. All of the participants joined efforts even though the towers kept toppling over.
After lots of communication through games in such a manner, the glorious event was closed with farewell greetings by Association vice-president Mr. Takigami.
