It was great to get kyuushoku again after the long month of eating from Lawson and random bentos.  Yesterday we bibimba.  It was good of course. 

Finished showing some of my students 'Ferris Beuller's Day Off'  which I think is a great movie.  And one of the teachers at one point told me that it was good because the Ss could connect with the school setting and wanting to ditch school.   I also showed it because the movie was filmed mostly in the area that I am from, the North Shore of Chicago.   Areas like Highland Park, Winnetka, Glencoe, Lake Forest, and Wilmette.    So it was a way to show how things are in the US, because it was an every day sort of movie, nothing too crazy happened.  Except that maybe you couldn't just sing a parade at anytime or toss a rare Ferrari out a window into a ravine.  

First day back at school after a long summer vacation.  Went to Sougawa today, which is way further in the mountains.  Bears roam the mountain sides in Sougawa.  A few bears have been spotted this year alone.  Japanese bears are small, but people take cuation.  So much caution that all the school children have small bells attached to their backpacks to help ward off the bears. I have yet to see one the bears.  But I've seen a lot of animals around in the past few months.  Foxes, tanuki, wild boar, monkeys, deer, and some huge hawks, but no bear.  Not sure that I want see one anyways.
    Miyama chuu tomorrow.  Should be a good day, but I will very tired by the end of the day.
