Miya-Odori

I had a great time last Sunday watching the kids dancing in the parade in Fujinomiya. I think I missed it last year, but I've seen it a few times before and I always had a good time.

There are parades sometimes in my hometown of Fullerton, CA, too, but I never really went to see them. Parades just sound boring to me - maybe I like Fujinomiya's parades because our students are in them!

Summer Vacation!

All the kids are on vacation now. You can still see a lot of kids walking around in their school uniforms, though - too bad for them! If they have to go to school, and they have homework, how exactly is it a "vacation"? Is there any time that they truly have no responsibilities at all?
