A Few Days Holiday

We decided to take a few days holiday over the Obon holiday.   Most people travel to their relatives or have family visiting at this time.  So even if we want to teach most of the students are away.
I had great plans, but when the heat started most of them flew out the window. All I wanted to do was sit in the air conditioning!  But we did manage to get to the museum.  This museum (Kyushu National Museum) is about 40 minutes drive from here.  This summer the special exhibition was The British museum: A History of the World in 100 Objects.  Very interesting but very busy!

How to use the toilet!!!!!!

We also celebrated Davids birthday, but didn't get any photos from that.  He needed some trousers so we went to the recycle shop (David's idea!).  He got two pairs for 700yen, good price!  We had party food but no cake, I bought sushi instead, which David loves.

I decided that we should get out into nature.  So we drove up the mountain near here.  The drive was nice but then we got out and found that it was too hot and too many insects.  We walked around for a bit but decided that we prefer the air conditioner to the fresh air!

mountain walk, maybe autumn is better

Christopher and Hannah are back to school next week.  The summer holiday has been cut short by about one week!  But there is a typhoon coming this way, Christopher and Hannah are hoping for another day off!!!
