Hey y’all! 

Summer has been here for a minute now and a fun thing to do is go and see the sunflower field in Ogaki. Every year the area is filled with the yellow flowers that shine amongst that backdrop of mountains and Shinkansen track. If you’re lucky, you could even see Dr. Yellow! Have y’all been here?

See y’all in class! 

Kia ora and hello everyone!

A few weeks ago, when my dad and little brother came to Tokyo – we visited Tokyo Skytree!

It was crazy seeing so much of the city from so high up – did you know Tokyo is the biggest city in the world? 

Afterwards, we went to the Ghibli store at the base of Skytree, and my little brother was pretty excited to see a giant Totoro!

Have you been to Skytree?

「座ってばかりいる怠け者」という日本語に訳す問題が、中学生の単語テストに出ていました。

ソファーなどにもたれてスマホをいじったりテレビを見たりとにかくダラダラとしているイメージです。

だらしない人という意味なのですが、普段てきぱき動いて学校やお仕事を頑張っている人がお休みの日に”I’m a couch potato today…”と言ったら、そんな日もあっていいのでは？と声をかけてあげたくなりますね(^^)

After arriving in Hokkaido and spending one day and night in Sapporo we headed toward the center of Hokkaido with our destination being the town of Furano. The road there was very beautiful. It followed a river and along it we were able to see some great sights like waterfalls. Furano has many flower farms. We stopped at one that had a chairlift ride up to the top of the hill with a great view of the town down below. It was a great day out of the city and getting into nature.
