Yet another tremor this afternoon! I ran over to the school next door and asked the students and Shinya, "did you feel the earthquake just now?" Their response: "What earthquake?" I guess after a while, you don't even notice anymore!
The textbook for one of the high school level classes I teach featured a cultural note about the '70s in the US, with a reading about . . . DISCO, of course! So to complete the experience, and do some practice following spoken directions, the students learned "The Bus Stop" (aka "The California Hustle"). [Very silly, I know, but it's okay to have fun when you're learning!] Here's the link to the video on Youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KO-wcR-_eN8
I really am going to post pictures of my Tokyo trip soon!
