Well here at JAG, we have done so many things and still need to keep moving. So a semi-fast update is upon us in order that the upcoming updates may relate to things of the present (and presents). So here is a blurb of what has been happening in Japan.
1. I found a place which sells cans of pork and beans! So I bought a few cans with chips- and indulged my American taste buds with a great Nacho Navidad! Yummm. What else can you ask for?
2. There was a choir concert/ contest at school. Each grade sang songs and then each class gave a little vocal appreciation. It was delightful- I shall place online some videos of the children stretching their vocal apparatus so expect many wonderful voices gracing your ears soon! Just imagine now- 700 wonderful voices making many great songs come to life!
3. At Bible Study this last week we met two guys from Cuba and Columbia. They approached and spoke some English but we soon found out their languages were Spanish and Japanese. SO we had a trilingual conversation in English, Spanish and Japanese! It was so fun to experience this understanding using all three languages! WOW you had to be there! (ps we invited them to church and they came!!!!!!)
our street booth
my display- on cardboard boxes!
4. By MO was a part of a flea market this week! Nagisa- my Japanese sister invited me with her friend to share a booth. SO by MO took it to the streets! It was so fun to practice my Japanese and show my work here in Japan! There was a sweet street band playing and a little girls dance concert on the street. These little 5 year olds danced to the Nutcracker and were very Kawai! SO cute! It was fun to be able to feel less like a foreigner and see how Japan would react to by MO!
Many things are happening here I just got my first Japanese cold, took my first time off to sleep and try to not get everyone sick, and my student I worked with for the speech contest came in FIRST for all of YAMANASHI so she is going to TOKYO! I was so proud of her! She worked so hard! YEAH!
Remember: When it rains and is 20 degrees out, a good Kotatsu and a brownie does the trick!

Your earrings are so cute! I'm glad that Japan is treating you well!
1. Chips and pork & beans!!! NASTY!!!
2. Congrats on your international business ventures. :)
Did your jewelry sell well?
Well the MO sell was great! They loved them but this was more of a used flea market so people were not looking for presents but the cheap clothes things- but I got many Kawai, and sugois here- which mean they liked them but not many buys. It was a great experience- and have many earings left over- so if you are looking for some gifts for people I am the place to go! ( I will post more bling pics on line)! Ok that was a lame plug but I do have some new styles in my line due to the Japan style so please buy the Japan style! Ok lame again!
oh ps- many people here do not have their ears peirced so they were more into my hair things and bracelets and necklaces! but you know!
Love the earrings, and I'm super excited for the video of children singing. I'm a nerd like that! Happy Thanksgiving!
