Tea Ceremony
Summer Festivals
We have lots of summer festivals in Japan, especially from late July to mid August. Some are organized by cities and others by communities. This festival is organized by a nearby community, filled with kids activities, music and dance (Bon-dance). There are no words to describe how I felt at seeing my girls dance with Mom in the Yukatas (summer kimonos) that I used to wear 30 years ago! This moment alone made this long trip worthwhile. 早いもので、日本帰省も半分が過ぎた。毎日少しずつ、やりたかった事、会いたかった人リストに、済マークがついている。これは近所の夏祭り。今は亡き父方祖父母の家の町内である。まずはいとこ4人で記念写真。亡き祖母が子どもの頃、用意してくれた浴衣を、和裁のできる妹に肩上げしてもらい、ミーシャとリヤに着せることができた。そして、ステキな和太鼓の鳴る中、毎日のように踊っている母と共に子どもたちも盆踊りを体験。それをビデオに撮りながら、感慨無量。日本に来て本当によかった。ずっと子どもたちの記憶に残ってくれるといいな。

Japan Part 1 (by kids)
[How japan works by:Misha Temesgen]It`s really good learning japanese stuff.you will really love it in here.but,sometimes stuff do not work.but it`s okay if they don`t work.japanese grapes are really small.you can eat them:by puting the grape in your mouth whole,or you can suck in the juice and leave the outside and that`s how you eat the grapes.and if you don`t know how japanese,you can ask my mom,noriko.and japanese people wash their bodies very quickly.i just can`t tell how quickly they wash there bodies.
