Flag Hoisting Ceremonies are a ritual on the Nippon Maru. They normally begin about 7.30 a.m in the morning whereby we observe the national anthem of the country who is having the flag hoisting ceremony. Sometimes, its one country, Sometimes 2 countries share one flag hoisting Ceremony (Like Brunei did with Cambodia this year, as both were not ports of call in this Year'S sseayp).. If its Bright and Sunny like you see in the pictures, the Ceremony is held @ the Sports Deck. If it Rains and Pours, we take it into the Dolphin Hall. The Raising of the Flags and National Anthem of the Host Country is followed by a speech from the National Leader of the Host Country. In this case, you can see the Japanese National Leader, Miss Kayako Nishida delivering her remarks...Also, lets not forget to say Big Thanks and Kudos to Brunei Darussalam's 2 faithful Flag Hoisters, Amier and Mimiet who were tasked with the Major Duty of raising the flag of Brunei Darussalam during all the flag hoisting ceremonies. We're so Proud of You for Your Job Well Done!
