sports festival

this week was pretty chill, starting to get to know the middle school kids. They had sports festivals which are bad-ass versions of field day. They practice for a weekand ahalf and then do relays, games etc, but they also do crazy traditional dances, martial arts stuff, and cool dances they put together themselves. These kids are hella good at speech-giving too, though the class speaker broke down in emotion in giving the closer, it was an intense moment. Elementary school is cool, i kinda feel like a magician coming in and showing them magic pictures. They think the house at the cape looks hella cool. At the end of one class, all the kids ran up to the front to shake my hand, it was like a rock show. Then one kid asked me to sign his baseball and the rest followed suit with their kawaii paper and pencil boxes. Eerie but cute. Had the worst hangover of my life at the end of last week because of strong shochu, dont know what happend there, but man i hate that stuff. somethings in those potatos...
