Japan News: Saitama Super Arena will host the 2nd "Songkran Festival & Asian Festival" on Aug. 30 and 31, in cooperation with the Foreign Ministry and sponsored by the ASEAN Japan Centre as well as various tourist boards of Korea, Cambodia, Malaysia, the Philippines and Singapore. "Songkran" is Thai's traditional water-throwing festival, in which people wish for an abundant harvest and a clean bill of health. You can enjoy a "Saitama version" of Songkran festivities at Keyaki Hiroba, a large open space near the arena from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. on both days. This two-day Asian festival will be filled with a colorful array of events, including dance shows, a Muay Thai performance, food stalls, music performances, hands-on culture activities and tourism promotion booths.

Okay...not sure how this blog is going to go...Anyhow...my 7th graders won 3rd place in the English speech contest. Sawada didn't do too well because we (Takahashi sensei and I) came in when Sawada just started her speech. She got a little startled when we came in late and it totally threw off her concentration. Yamashita impressed me because yesterday she didn't fully memorize the story. All in all, she improvised on the other speakers and did a pretty good job. I will post pics up shortly.
On our way home, Takahashi sensei and I had some good conversation. He's truly like a big brother to me. I learn so much from him.
Since my students did well, I decided to celebrate @ Ikko. Met up with Kitaguchi & Takahashi san @ Ikko, then Nakamura Sensei came through. We had Ikko no mama call Mami-chan up and her come by Ikko. She invited me to drinks afterwards....I was a little reluctant...but she insisted. She showed me her BMW and I was like whoah. She took me too another bar had treated me to drinks and karaoke. She then told me as we were leaving that she has other cars. She has a mercedes S600, red ferrari 355 and a silver lamborghini countach. I was like Whoah!!! It was good times nonetheless....had too much sho chu.
Word to ya'll... don't drink sho chu at the end of the night.
Okay...i'm callin' it a night...cuz I'm way exhausted. I need to do research for my fantasy football draft tomorrow afternoon.
Kaz out...
