Once again it's Sports Festival season in Japan. This time it's the littlies which means it's sports festival time for Elementary school students and Nursery school kids. Japanese schools have their sports carnivals in October because it's autumn and the season is suppose to be getting cooler. Well...it is but it isn't. The temp is still in the 30s and it's hot and muggy out there. The kids have to practice and train so hard. They have to practice from walking in the opening ceremony, to running a mock race...in ALL areas. Then they have to practice their team cheers and each indidvidual performance...Plus, they have to practice..wait for it...how to bow. The teachers count the seconds of the time they have to have their head down, and then up and then turn...it's kind of ridiculous. Anyways, it turns out to be a fun time with everyone in the town showing up. But the practices...it's hard on the kids (and the teachers). I was standing out there in the sweltering sun and it was hot. Mind you I was only standing there, the kids were running and bowing. And they have 3weeks of this to go!!! Good luck to them.

Other than that, things have been well. Nothing too exciting has been happening. Got invited to another wedding in late October. And there are 2 long weekends this month YAY!!! Not doing much..maybe ^_~ hehee...No, I'm not getting up to any mischief!
