HALLOWEEN STORY

Once upon a time there was a little boy who lived in a land far, far, away. It was difficult for him to concentrate in school because he was always daydreaming.  When the teacher was talking, he was imagining being a hero and saving people.  The only problem was that he was so tiny.  One day when the teacher was talking, a monster suddenly came into the classroom and started to eat the other students.  But the little tiny boy had a very big heart and beat up the monster and rescued the other children. After that, no one called him tiny, but instead called him MJ - Mighty John!

The Amusement Park

Do you like going to the amusement park?  I like walking around and looking at the rides, but I don't really like getting on them.  I remember one time when I was a child my father took me on a roller coaster.  I screamed my head off and I thought I was going to die.  I still don't like roller coasters.  One ride that I do enjoy is the Ferris Wheel.  The view is always nice from up high.

A Bad Cold

Yesterday, I had a bad cold.  I wore a mask during class.  It was difficult to teach and perhaps I was not as cheerful as usual.  I apologize for that. I hope no one caught my cold. When I left home in the morning, I was fine, but then suddenly right as class started, I started sneezing and it was all downhill from there.  I feel much better today.

FALL LEAVES

Did you know that American people prefer to use the word "Fall" instead of  "Autumn"? In Japan, many people are busy raking leaves so that they don't fly into their neighbors yard. I think that is very considerate. American people have very big yards around their house, so they don't rake so often.  I remember raking leaves as a child. My mother would get angry because I just played in the leaves and made a big mess.

John Lennon

Did you know that yesterday (10/9) was John Lennon's birthday?  I never really listened to the Beatles until I came to Japan. I think in the U.S., Elvis is more popular.  In Japan, you can often hear the Beatles' music playing in restaurants, stores, etc.  Now, I love the Beatles.  Their songs are simple and easy to sing at karaoke. I also like their style.  It changed a lot over many years.

Just a bit about John Lennon.....he was born in 1940. He had 2 children, Julian and Sean.  He was married twice; once to a woman named Cynthia, and then to Yoko.  Many fans in the U.S. don't like Yoko because they blame her for the breakup of the Beatles. Did you know that Richard Nixon wanted to kick him out of the U.S. ? 

I once visited the John Lennon museum in Saitama. It is very interesting and leads you on a journey over the course of his life.  I think it is very sad the way he died.

Waking up early

Early bird gets the worm.  That's what they say, but who wants to get a worm?  They should say, "Early bird gets the ￥10000 bill." lol.  Anyway, this morning I woke up at 4:00am.  Many people think that waking up early is difficult, but it was pretty easy, actually.  The hard part is going to bed early.  If you can go to bed early, waking up early is a cinch. What do you think about waking up early?

Have a wonderful Wednesday!

These are called "trash bins". Each house receives one from the city. Once or twice a week a garbage truck comes by to empty them. Sometimes, there are trash bins for recyclables, but they are usually optional.

TRASH

October is here, the typhoon is gone, and the sun has come out.  I have a feeling this is going to be a marvelous day.  

This morning when I took out the trash, I thought, "Somebody put the wrong trash here. It's not plastics day, it's burnable trash day!  And look, they didn't even properly cover it with the net! What if some crows came and scattered the trash ?!?!"  

It was strange because I never thought that way in the U.S.  I just threw everything into one big container and never gave it a second thought.  

Maybe I am turning Japanese.  Do you think so?
