what was supposed to be a laid back weekend, somehow turned into a vball/drinkin' weekend.

sat mornin', we had a renshuujiai (practice games) with: funabashi jhs, mita jhs & soga jhs (#2 in chiba prefecture). the girls played like crap and toita sensei made sure that they knew that.

after the games, toita sensei and i headed to koiwa (a city in eastern tokyo) for a nomikai (drinkin' party). they were havin' a renshuujiai the next day, so some of the parents from the visitin' team, fujimiya jhs (in shizuoka prefecture), koiwa 5 jhs coach and parents had this huge party. got to meet yoshida sensei who coaches fujimiya jhs. he lived in england for 2 years and taught vball. he teaches english @ a juku (cram school) but i wouldn't want to take his class. one story is that this one kid forgot to arrange his shoes after takin' them off, so yoshida sensei got mad and threw his desk out of the room and told him to study in the hall. met another funny person, hashimoto sensei, coach of koiwa 5 jhs. he's a funny guy who is off da hook when he is drunk. most of the coaches and dads that played vball were all setters. i was plannin' on goin' home last night, but everyone just crashed where we had the party at. for some reason, everyone got up hella early. i was still drunk. then hashimoto sensei breaks out the tall can six pack. i was like whoah, i'm koo, i'm still drunk, but he insisted that i drink. can't say no to my elders.

we then headed out to the school and i was totally surprised that the mama from last night was cookin' up breakfast for us in the gym's office. then we watched the girls warm up and practice before they started the games. yoshida sensei had me give advice to his team which kinda surprised me. then, durin' some downtime, hashimoto sensei breaks out the beer and a big bottle of nihon shuu!?! omg, it's not even 1100 yet. so we drank while mama-san and some other moms made curry! toita sensei had to bounce but she told me to stay and have fun. before lunch, hashimoto sensei remembers about the challenge and wants to see my stuff. i'm impressed him but he did help me out by correctin' my form on the back set. so after lunch, we just chilled while the girls were playin'. i did get to see part of the oni (demon) side of yoshida sensei. i also got to see the hashimoto sensei be a punk to his team. as much i would want to, i don't think i could be such a #$%@! to the kids. demo, ii benkyou narimashita (but i did learn a lot ) i must thank toita sensei for introducin' me to all these new peeps.

i'll post the pics tomorrow...

it was a great weekend

kaz out...
