Wow, the yosakoi club in my uni has become huge. They now have three teams. On a fun note, one of the "coaches" is my former student, when he saw me, he said "hello" (well, rather "hallo" his English sucks) and then everyone else (who didn't see my face as I walked by) asked who that was, and […]

I just checked the weather forecast. It seems that summer is back tomorrow, just in time for October. Checks out. "October summer" is one of Japan's 72 micro-seasons. The Japanese even have a special word for it. They call it Jugatsunatsu.
