Last week I went to one of the shougakkos (elementary schools) in town to talk to the English Club about Canada. Armed with Asuka's Canadian landscape picture book and an mp3 of our national anthem I arrived ready to talk. Needless to say I was woefully unprepared. After participating in a brief exercise to help them practice asking directions in English, I began to bombard them with as much unorganized information as I could throw at them.
I'm not sure which was more scary; the surprising accuracy of what I said, or how the children seemed to listen so enthusiastically, although they maybe only understood every third or fourth word I said.
Other than that, winter is beginning to show up here in Karuizawa. Each night after work the temperature had been hovering around zero degrees and we have even gotten some snow on top of Asamayama. (Asama Mountain, an active volcano.) No snow as of yet has stuck to the ground but I am sure it will soon.
