So apparently I didn't think the day was awesome enough so I met up with Rhee in Yamanashi city and we went to a firefly festival. The clouds cleared and we actually had some blue sky! While we waited for night to fall we wandered about the festival and listened to music and ate melon waffles and yakitori (chicken on a stick) and went and saw this little zoo and walked along the river and found a little shrine up on a hill and when we night still hadn't fallen we flaked out in the grass and looked for four leaf clovers. I found one! Then when dusk came we went to this little secluded meadow in the park along a creek where the leafy trees overhang the banks and waited for the magic. In the pictures they don't look like much but the fireflies were amazing. There were so many and the did little dances and played tag and landed on leaves making the whole leaf glow green. They were so beautiful I could have watched them all night!
All and all it was a wonderful Saturday! Sunday we took the day off from being so busy and just went and checked out a local shrine and temple in the area, had some waffles and stayed in for dinner of spaghetti and garlic bread!
Japan is still wonderful. My students are wonderful! I love teaching so much! Last Thursday I had a break-through and explained how to count to 100 in a pattern and I actually saw light bulbs go off! It was so rewarding! I guess they thought the numbers just seemed to come a random. They are clever kids and eat up everything I say plus we have fun! Ja ne!
