Boobs, Poop and Culture Festival Preparations

If I understood what was going on correctly, I'm pretty sure that a group of 3 9th grader girls in one of my middle schools tried to get me to say "boobs" in Japanese some days ago.  The word for boobs is oppai, and one of the girls was saying "O, P, I" then she would back up a bit, drop her head and say very quickly, "opai."  And after I said "What?  O P I?" she again would back up quickly and say "opai."  I think I knew what she was doing so I didn't give in, but it was pretty funny.

A 5th grade girl in my elementary school for sure tried to get me to say "poop" in Japanese the other day.  She brought up a notebook with the word "unko" or "poop" written in it in Japanese.  She pointed to it and asked "Teacher, what's this?"  I smiled and said "fuzakenna!" or "fuck off!" with a mild bitch slapping motion and she laughed as she ran off.  I don't blame these kids, I might have tried the same thing when I was their age.

I have a farmers tan that I picked up over a month ago and it STILL HASN'T GONE AWAY.  It is ugly and annoying.  Thank you very much, Japanese sun!

Students around Japan are currently doing two things at the moment.  They are getting ready for a culture festival and practicing choir singing.  Schools from kindergartens to colleges participate in this culture festival, which basically will see individual classes or groups putting on some sort of show or attraction while other students go through and see what is going on.  There will be food, performances, and other things I'm not sure of yet.  What really irks me is that my two middle schools are having their culture festivals on the same day, which means I can only go to one of them.  I really wanted to go to both, because I really like both schools.  It really makes me sad I can't go to both. But, c'est la vie.

My friend is starting his business and has asked me to be his CFO/partial partner.  I am super excited for this, but alas, it will be the nail in the coffin as far as a second year in Japan is concerned.  Funny, I miss it already.
