Ahh the marathon never happened it got rained out so I went back to bed, not that I was going to ever run, but just say hi to the Miyamaians. That's the people the live in my town, Miyama-mura. Beautiful mountain village. Aaaah. Which is in Wakayama prefecture. Wakayama= peaceful signing mountains. Anywho I benkioed Japanese for awhile and played some Mario Tennis.
Oh I Friday. Which was cool. I went to this festival practice at night at Sougawa. They play the taiko drums and did some cool rythmic dancing to the beat using the crazy oni looking heads. All the while the children played a tune ont he traditional Japanese flute. I tried these flute. I was able to follow along for a bit, but I have to try again. It was a great night. I got to shot the shit in Japanese and broken English with the older, parents and old folk, and got to see the kids oustide of school. They were really excited to see me. The play/dance that they are practicing is suppose to be 200 years old and Suogawa is suppose to famous for it.
Yesterday, Sunday, I made a trip to Osaka. I visited America Village which had some cool t-shirts and then Den Den town which had every new and cool electronic item. I was planning to go to the Star Wars exhibit because it was Halloween, but I didn't. They had a thing where if you dressed up you got in for free.
Today I wowed my 4th grade class with hang man. I didn't even plan it. I thought that it would be boring and old to them, on the contrary. And I played Hokey Pokey with another class and inlcuded things like, tongue, ear, elbow and butt.
So Happy Halloween and Happy Election Day. My the best man win...
