給食

So I sit down to eat my school lunch meal as I do everyday and they usually play some music over the PA system during the meal. At first I didn't really pay attention to what was playing as I was intently focused on finally being able to eat. Then about half way through my bowl of rice I stopped mid-chew and almost blew white grains of rice all over my desk. Coming over the loudspeaker was the 'My Hump' song by Black Eyed Peas...... I shit you not. Anyway's being the only person who truly 'understood' what the lyrics were (I still don't know if anyone really knows what the hell it means....good call Will Ferrell) I had to sit in silent disbelief.

Anyways, the kids at the middle school I've been at this week are putting on a big cultural event this weekend for the parents and whatnot. I'll stop by and get some pics. They've been working like crazy after school all week on some pretty fun stuff. Hip hop dancing, power rangers type skit and other performances. It's pretty crazy how hard students work here. I remember just going to school, and bouncing right after class. Here everyone stays and works together on projects, choirs or other sports and events. Now I understand why many of my japanese friends have moved to or want to move to the states....generally more pay for less hours.

God bless America!
