It's freaking hot. Not as hot as Taiwan was, but still hot. I hate it when people say stuff like "that isn't ____, ____ is much _____er." Like the winter here. It gets down to -10C or so, and some people say that's not cold because they used to live in -30C winters. Ok well go outside in shorts and a t-shirt during -10C weather then. Or like when people say "English isn't hard, _____ is harder." Sigh... the self-righteousness of people sometimes.
Anyway so it's back to school today. In the morning we had an opening ceremony which I almost fell asleep through. No classes today because the kids are having tests. They have summer homework here and freak out when I tell them we don't have summer homework. Also, tests right when you come back? Killer! The students always comment on how long the American summer vacation is. It's pretty nice I tell you. For those who say it's too long, you just don't know what to do with your free time. Watching TV isn't such a bad choice!
I met some dancers over the past week. They are very cool. Hoping to hang out with them more in the future. These people are the kind I was hoping to meet ever since I got to Japan. I saw a dance performance they did on Saturday and they rocked it. They do popping and locking, most have done it for a few years now. I miss breakdancing so I'm hoping to get into dancing with these guys. My body coordination has fallen by the wayside though, hoping for a comeback!
