Happy... Hallow**n?

On Friday, we had a special Harvest Carnival at Calvary Chapel Okinawa. It's like an alternative to Halloween for kids, so they do not have to take part in what is, in fact, a dark holiday tradition. Well at school, we English teachers in the humanities department decided to dress up a little, to show the kids some fun. I didn't mean to 'promote' Halloween, but rather just to give the students something to talk about, and bring a little happiness into their day. Last year, I dressed as an Arab. This year, we decided to go with a sports theme, so I donned my hockey gear and sweat all day long - did you know that hockey gear is not conducive to being worn for 14 hours in 28C weather? Now you know! A good time was had by all, though.

先週の金曜日はハロウィーンだった。学校では文系の英語科の先生方はみんなスポーツをテーマにして仮装して出勤した。ケニーは野球少年で、ユッキーは沖尚女子バレー部の一員として来た。僕はカナダ人代表ということでアイスホッケー選手として学校に行った。生徒はみんな喜んでいたので、大成功したと思います!来年も楽しみにしてね!
