Aiiii Yaaaaa!



Konbanwa! Good evening!

Long day, especially for the family who spent the past 24 hours hosting me and my collection of lame jokes. Yass and Yoshiko were very nice, and I lived like a traditional Japanese for a day. I even got a lesson in kendo, the Japanese art of fencing. I plan to put my new skills to use in class with misbehaving students this fall.

We also were introduced to the Japanese tea ceremony. I have a lot to learn about this, starting with kneeling with my feet flat on the floor. It was very interesting, our hostess was gracious, and I didn't cause any international incidents.
