HSM Mania!

Yesterday we had a High School Musical marathon with two of our students. After seeing the first one at the English camp, they decided they wanted to watch all of them. So we took the whole afternoon to watch High School Musical 1, 2, and 3!


And it was a good idea to take the WHOLE afternoon because it was deathly hot! After watching the first one dripping with sweat because it was 97 degrees IN our apartment, we decided, for the first time in 2 1/2 years, to turn the AC on! Boy was that a wonderful idea, but now it will be difficult to refrain from using it, especially on deathly hot days like yesterday.
After watching the movies, Angie and Travis braved the heat of the evening to watch their final of all time Hirosaki Neputa. Tonight is the last night, but we will be venturing to a different city for their summer festival (stay tuned in). It was a joyous yet tear-jerking night of Neputa viewing as we realized our approaching return to America.





This is a panoramic from the night before when we returned from Goshogowara. The picture is not very good but the floats pass by the train station and we stood out on the second floor deck to watch!

HSM!!!!!!!! Who doesn't love HSM?! I met one person who doesn't and my internal response to them was, "What in the world is wrong with you? Do you hate smiling and sunny days too?!" hahaha You are giving your students a wonderful experience through your activities, parties, mentorship, and even movies. Really really.
