so the new harry potter book came out today in japan. and sure enough, there were peeps waitin' from 2100 yesterday. they even had the matsuoka, who translated the book into japanese all dressed up and doin' book signings and stuff.

well...back to school today. it was good to see all of the teachers and students again. but i wasn't really feelin' the no a/c teachers' room or the classrooms. so i took shelter a lot in the office and chatted it up with the ladies. ishiguro san went to borneo and got me this koo bookmark. she also brought back some chocolate (which i had to translate for them cuz they couldn't read english) as well as some snacks from okinawa. okamoto sensei gave me some super spicy noodles from singapore too.

ran the whole vball practice today. it's a lot different w/o da 9th graders. but i see a lot of improvement in the 7th graders. durin' the end meetin', i explained to them some ideas (in japanese, english and a lot of gestures) and then made them explain it back to me in japanese so i know that they understood what i said. tho it was nice and cool outside, inside the gym was a furnace! probably at least 36C.

anyhow...i'm off to go eat and watch riddick. it's the first of da month and that means it's eiga no hi (movie day) which means that everyone is only 1000yen (about $8.50).

kaz out...
