RE: Hump Day (http://kotaku.com/5485133/hump-day)
Before the talk about hate... Do you know why there was no heavy rain today? No, I'm not talking about the PS3 game...nor about where you are per se. Sorry!
When I woke up this morning, I found that Mini Bash had made a teru teru bozu (http://softypapa.wordpress.com/2009/06/18/emily-teaches-us-how-to-make-teru-teru-bozu/) (which I've talked about before!). It was supposed to rain hard today, and he had a field trip. He went to Kyoto Prefecture to go look at trains with his school.
Which sounds like a totally awesome field trip.
It did rain today, but in hopes of avoiding a heavy rain, he made this. And viola, there were only scattered light showers!
Oh, and do I hate Japan? Let me put it this way. There are things I hate about Japan. There are also things I hate about America. There are just fewer things I hate about Japan than I hate about the U.S., hence me living in Japan. :) And I honestly do not think Tim hates Japan in the least. On the contrary, I think he likes the country and the people very much.
For me I guess... I can't really pick up and leave Japan, you know? This is my home. I bought a condo here! My oldest son doesn't really know English and totally considers himself Japanese. He lasted about three days in America, eating only American food.
Japanese culture and language are different, sure. But, all in all, people are the same. They have the same aspirations, talk about the same shit, tell the same stupid jokes.
Venting about where one lives is fine, and I do not think that should be discouraged. I think it's silly to chastise one for doing that. How can we know what we like if we never talk about what we don't like?
