Haha i guess people don't like the new hairstyle. People say it looks asian, but I am in Asia sooooo. But anyway it looks better in person, or at least the Japanese seem to like it
Anyway I haven't updated in a long time. It is pretty hot here. Not as hot as back home but at home there is AC everywhere.
Last weekend one of my old students had a "somen party." I didnt know what somen was but its basically just noodles. In the summer they eat it cold. At home if people eat it, usually they just put cooked noodles into ice water, and then dip the noodles into soy sauce.
If they go outside to eat it, the noodles are put into a bamboo slide, and you have to catch the noodles with your chopsticks.
Here are some pictures to better understand
My student's husband built everything. Its quite impressive actually. He even built the roof so there was better shade.
This is the new teacher who took over at my old school. Good kid but strange as hell. He is from England so at the party people broke many social rules by asking our opinions about politics. Needless to say it had its akward moments.
This is everyone. My student is the one in the striped green shirt. The other people are her friends, family, and husbands employees.
last picture here is of the younger girls, with their grandfather. He was kind of funny. When he introduced me he said he used to be in the war, and he spent all his time with the horses. He said when he was younger he had a round face but after being with the horses, it became long.
