Up, Japanese!

Only in Japanese can I have friends whose names, transliterated, have meanings such as:
"Spring Onion"
"Fat Donkey"
"Garbage"
"Are you serious?" and
"Loser Dog"

My name, for all interested parties, transliterates into "Forest Village," which is not as interesting as any of the above, but definitely safer.

That will be all.

The best thing about Japan

...is that no day is ever without its WTF moments.

Students clean the school after class every day. What this means in practice is that the female students do the cleaning while the male students fuck around and gossip.

Except now that winter has arrived, the male students have discovered a way to occupy themselves during cleaning period. It involves a massive jan-ken-pon battle. The loser of said battle is required to strip down to his underwear, climb out the window onto the roof, and run around in the two feet of snow which has accumulated there until his classmates open the window and readmit him.

So my girls and I clean the school while my boys run around in their underwear in front of one of the busiest intersections in the city. Not that I watch, or anything
