Last Few Weeks...

After school one day, a few of us went to check out the kimono sale. We each tried on a kimono. This kimono is usually $3,000! It was on sale for around $1,500. Still too rich for my pockets! They are all so incredibly beautiful though!










Last week, I had a business trip to go to another school and work with kids at an English camp. This was my favorite student, Erina-chan. She wrote me the sweetest letter!

















I was semi-tricked into dancing Michael Jackson's "Beat It" and "Thriller" at a New Year's Party. But who am I kidding, I enjoyed every minute of it! (Note "Michael" in the zombie picture).


On Thursday, my mom and grandma will arrive in Japan! I am so excited! First, we will explore Tokyo and Kyoto, and then we will head South to see my area...

Every year, the Chinatown section of Nagasaki City is home to the Lantern Festival, which celebrates the Chinese New Year. Thousands of Lanterns are on display, some of which are fantastically intricate. Take a peek!
