Change in Weather
So the rainy season is slowly creeping upon us. And what does this mean for me? It means riding my bike in the rain while sweating my ass off. It’s an odd thing, holding an umbrella and switching hands quickly just so you have enough time to wipe the sweat from your brow. What’s scary is that it’s only May and the rainy season doesn’t really kick in until late June. Expect me to call out sick.
Two weekends ago we had our Sports Day. It would’ve been more appropriate to call it Running Day, seeing as the only thing the kids did was run around a dirt track barefooted. I’ll post a video of highlights shortly. I’m not in the mood to sift through my stock footage of junior high kids running around in circles.
In ALT news, I’m going to Kobe this weekend for the JET re-contracting conference. This is where all the ALTs who have no future plans come to meet and share stories about Japan. We will surely be lectured by some British ALT who has been team teaching for nearly 20 years and wants to share his wonderful experience of Japan with us. These lifelong ALTs are quite the winners.
I’ll let you know all about the Kobe beef.

i too found it odd that my forehead was not soggy from the rain but from perspiration.
i heard that kobe beef is really fatty and marbled. that’s probably why the japs think it’s so great.
