Though I guess you are reinforcing the whole "gaijin are feral" stereotype - though really that could mean that gaijin like to do strange/unJapanese things like think for themselves. <br /><br />The whole thing sounds like a shocker, maybe bring a big umbrella?

The first year I taught in Mexico, I was informed that I was required to teach a synchronized dance routine to which I responded, "Where on my resume does it state I am qualified to teach dance?" They ended up hiring a dance instructor because I don't know the difference between my big cloddy American left foot from my right.Crazy Ritahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02034624524218675347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3533986275392579293.post-10680483259592247002011-10-09T03:04:37.463+09:002011-10-09T03:04:37.463+09:00I'm leaning towards answer c.

Just because Ash does his own thing on an event that happens one day of the year totally doesn't mean you're a bad mother. And I bet you that at least a few of those kindy j-mummies are secretly applauding Ash's antics. :)<br /><br />I've been lurking as of late instead of commenting.

I'm at the, "Sports Day is okay as long as it is only one day a year." Last year, during lunch break, we collected bugs in empty pet bottles. You should have seen the size of some of those grasshoppers! <br /><br />Seriously, this year, we are taking the gypsy approach. We've got our 'tent', chairs, tables, flags, food, and plenty of beer. We've also got our video camera ready just in case any of the refs wants to try and be funny and make a bogus call like last year...we had to hold grandma back (we'll be sure to slip her the meds before the opening ceremony this time). Anyway, wifey is asking were we put the bullhorn.

I've asked a couple of my J-friends the point of having a sports day, and they have no idea. What's the point if no one knows what they're doing it for??<br />My school's sports was awesome tho. It was like a mini Olympics, where each grade had to research the country they were representing before participating. We even had a potluck where students had to make the traditional foods. And this was from a public school~ LolAlyse S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10750026180368873888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3533986275392579293.post-26834087111610938342011-10-07T23:55:36.553+09:002011-10-07T23:55:36.553+09:00Good on him.

No robotic stuff, but running laps and jumping ropes and games and I fucking hated all of it! <br />Why do I have to run, when everybody's running? I don't wanna. Piss off.<br />But just doing it like Ash would have been impossible. In the old days the teachers yelled us to pieces when we didn't blend in.Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00315960791493911268noreply@blogger.com
