Akiva and Kenaz came back to Yokohama, Japan to attend my old school. Every year they go to Japanese public elementary school for 5 weeks. Their Japanese skills always get improved, especially conversation Japanese. This year Akiva started saying “Sateto… (means “let me see”)”. I was surprised to catch him saying “mankind from destruction” while he was playing an alien with his niece. Akiva went to one night field trip in Miura ocean. He studied about community of living beach. Kenaz who  did not want to go to school in Japan had a good time at school. Kenaz got along with his class mates who also like to watch and imitate Dragon Ball.20150701_065631

Akiva and Kenaz had a routine afterschool. They play baseball or shogi with my father. Finally he had a chance to teach things I and my sister did not want to learn. This year Akiva had a new routine to walk for 10 minutes to get a book store by himself and read comics there until dinner time.

Spirit of Mountain

Nearby my parents house has a small mountain which is very green (compared to Beijing). Last two weeks, Yokohama had rain every day. The trails were covered by new growing weeds. I describe this as swallowed by mountain. The shrine of mountain spirit was completely swallowed by mountain.

We went to some weekend activities in community center. We did sketch class to draw summer objects. Our drawing will be displayed during Yokohama kids festival in this November. We went to a sports class on Sunday to try out many new sports like curling on floor (not on the ice), squash-volleyball and official sport ring toss. We enjoyed squash volleyball which is basically volleyball with bigger and softer ball with 3 players.
