The past week and a half has been the spring break for the school kids. Weather has been so so but we haven't really been anywhere.
Last week was a festival at the local shrine. Kind of interesting to see the monks dressed in traditional robes and all the different banners hung around the temple. I took the kids for a walk over there but didn't take any money. There are stalls set up selling snacks and tickets to win prizes. I don't like the snack stalls because the people look like they never wash hands before touching the food and the guys doing the prize booths keep changing the rules!!!
C has just 4 more days before he goes back to school. He will be in the 5th grade, hard to believe, it seems like just yesterday he started school! His last school report was okay except for Japanese. He seems to have problems with language because I have found him struggling with English as well. Never mind, I will have to do more with him this coming term!
As soon as I find the cables to connect my cell phone to the computer I will post some photos.
