Japanese television and mass media enjoy talking about fat Westerners. I see fat Americans on television here, almost every week! I watch very little TV, so I think fat Americans must be on Japanese television, ALOT!
Anyway, American mass media also has an image of Japan that it likes to discuss - the strange "only in Japan" things that Westerners find exciting or disgusting.
I think it is funny, but it is also interesting how both countries enjoy negative/strange stories about eachother.
Enjoy!

IDEAS
I've been thinking recently about ideas. I love ideas. I love to hear other peoples' ideas and I love to share my ideas.
Tell me your ideas!!! Ideas about anything.
Today I have to make a new pigeon house. One student asked me how many birds I own. I'm not really sure, so I PROMISE to take some pictures today. I will take pictures today of every bird I own.
Later!

WOW!
I'm SO BUSY!!!
I opened my new office, last week and many students have been coming for level checks and lessons. It is going well. I'm very pleased and want to thank everyone who has come in so far, and everyone coming in the next 2 weeks. Former Hummingbird students, please send me your email or call me and book make your level check appointment. The June "Hummingbird" campaing ends on June 30!
In other news:
I found my hawk. Canso, my female Harris Hawk, had escaped on May 3. I caught her last week in Shinoro. She is now safe at home. I had to catch her with a special "hawk trap". It was fun.
Yesterday, I got 5 baby racing pigeons (レース鳩). They are very cute and gentle. I will try to train them to return home. I will take some pictures of them, tomorrow. They are very good looking pigeons.
Yesterday, I rode my mountainbike from my home in Motomachi, to the office. It was the first time this year to ride my bike to work. I hope I can lose weight because recently many of my students have been giving me delicious sweets, and I AM SO FAT!!!
I'll write again, tomorrow.
Seeeeeeeeya!

Hmmm
British English: NIGHT
American English: NITE
British English: FIGHT
American English: FIGHT
British English: COLOUR
American English: COLOR
British English: POUR
American English: POUR
Huh? There are fewer rules in American English. Some say it was because many years ago, early Americans were very uneducated. I think that if Americans did not know how to spell English words, they just spelled them from the sounds.
British English, or "The Queen's English" as we call it, is more acceptable around the world than American English. We don't use American English in Canada.
