A new supermarket opened just down the road from me! I've been to another branch of the supermarket a few times but that one is a good 40 minutes drive from here, the new one just 5 mins!!! One thing I love about this supermarket is that they do a lot of import goods at very good prices. Tins of kidney beans, lentils and mixed beans for 97 yen(about 70 pence). Brussel sprouts, frozen of course, for about 200 yen (about 1.50 pounds).They have a lot of things that I want to try, so I guess that is going to be my new place. Two other supermarkets that I use regularly are closed for remodelling and I can't wait for them to open! See small things make me happy!!
We are already getting ready for Halloween. The kids that we teach English to have four lessons in a month so getting the seasonal stuff out early enough is important. Mikey has this easy reader book with ghost stories in that he reads to the kids, he reads the English and then translates it into Japanese!! I love hearing the kids squeal and giggle!
Our little Halloween table, need a few more things to put on! |
Hannah really amazes me sometimes! She is getting nervous about her entrance tests for university, which is understandable. The other day I was teaching a girl that was Hannah's class mate in elementary school. This girl is a lot more nervous than Hannah! Hannah talked to her after her class and really encouraged her to have a positive mind set, saying that you have to believe that you belong in the university. I'm glad that she can think like that!
