"Budou" (ぶどう）means "grapes" in Japanese. When I first arrived, my supervisor and some teachers took us ALTs to pick grapes. One of the teacher's parents own a vineyard so we were able to do it for free, plus we got to sample all the different kinds of grapes they grow there. It was so delicious and fun! I had never picked grapes before in my life, so it was interesting to me. Here in Japan they grow them on trellises and you walk underneath it to pick. It was so enchanting being under the canopy of grape vines. Plus, one of the teachers brought his super adorable son, so it was really enjoyable to watch him run around laughing. I hope we can go grape picking again this year!!
