Day 991 ( Gakushu Hap pyoukai )
Sunday, December 5, 2010

Went to the musical and drama thing at my main school today known as happ youkai. This takes place every year around this time at the elementary schools all over Japan. This is the next main even after the sports day thing which was in September. Every single student have to participate in it, whether sick or not. Here is a video I took of one of the performances ...........

After the competition I went again to check out the prices of 40 inch TVs in 2 stores in my area
with a friend of mine. At one store, they were too expensive, and at the other store, they didn't have them in stock.

After this I rushed to a restaurant to have dinner with a few teachers from my main school.

Day 994 ( Health Report )
Wednesday, December 8, 2010

After work today I was a bit bored so I played a bit of Modern Warfare 2. I then decided to find out what my health report that I received from the Japanese clinic almost 3 months ago, actually says. I sent the information to my Japanese friend who speaks very good English, and she says I am healthy except for 2 things:

1) I have some sort of irregular heartbeat thing going on. Going too fast at times. I do realize that this happens quite a few times.

2) Some strange thing with my blood that can cause me to get cuts and bruises easily. This however I don't know about.

Day 995 (No Good Mornings / Snow starts)
Thursday, December 9, 2010

I had it in my mind to blog about this issue I noticed for some time now but always seem to forget. I noticed that at 2 of my schools, a few teachers sometimes never tell me good morning when they see me. However, if another Japanese person comes there after me, they will tell them good morning. I also remember at least 2 times when I entered a school and said good morning to everyone and the principal didn't answer me. A vice principal did the same thing once as well . I am not sure why. I find this very strange from good-mannered Japanese people. I know at least 2-3 teachers who will not say a word to me unless I am teaching their class on that day.

Anyway, it started snowing today and the place was ridiculously cold. It didn't snow too much nor for too long but it snowed. So tomorrow I will put on my snow tires.

Played football today after a 3 weeks break. The normal opposing team didn't come today so we played against each other 4 on 3. I was on the team with 3 members but I ended up scoring about 10 goals. It was fun as usual.

Changed my tires after work today then went to the last karate practise for 2010. It was so cold inside of the gym. Afterwards I went briefly to the darts bar.


Day 997 ( Karate Drinking Party )
Saturday, December11, 2010

Stayed in for most of the day today then went to a karate drinking party in the night. This oldish guy in the pic is drunk and when he is like this I try to stay as far away from him as possible.
