Chillin Chillin


Took the futuristically admistered japanese proficiency test, booming stereo sound, slow and deliberate administration by people who should have had a lightnight bolt stripes on their V-neck uniforms. Quite nice, mainly an excuse to get to fukuoka again, which didn't fail to deliver fun times. Went to Kagoshima city to a see a bunch of JETs and sing bad christmas carols in a dirty hip hop club with the local foreigner DJ- classic. Today at middle school I had the kids play Mafia in choice English class as a cultural exchange. Sometimes hard to get them to go at each other, but some funny moments when quite shy girls would be forced to accuse each other and just be like, "me?" "soo ja nai wa"- and I'm like yeah.. you have a dark side. nice infusion of US culture of violence. good times, downloaded some Perry Como christmas tunes- feels like home. Here are 2 pics from the Ariake international event...
