THRILLER
It wouldn't be Halloween without a Thriller. Couldnt use the old Snoopy Halloween for the high school kids, they a bit too old. So bought the Michael DVD/CD for $35 just to get the video, hot damn! The bootleg wasn't gonna work so had to go legit. Whipped up a listening and question class using Thriller. The English classes loved it, they were cracking up laughing, it was cool to see Michael in real life on the big screen. Two thumbs up to Mr. Jackson's Thriller for Halloween.
BANFF MT FILM FESTIVAL
BANFF MT FILM FESTIVAL
初めて行ったパタゴニアのMovieイベント。めっちゃ感動的やった！スクリーンを通して迫力満点の自然を感じる事ができた。雨の中大阪まで足運んでよかったよぉ～'D機会があったらまた行きたいな♪♪
Checked out the Banff Mt Film Festival with Kayo. It was pretty cool as all of the films were outdoor films from little known people. Mr. Teranishi at school said it was a must see. The best film I thought was "King Lines" a movie about the best rock climber in the world, Chris Sharma. http://www.kinglinesmovie.com/ If you like rock climbing or even human challenges you must check it out.
The event was in Osaka, and there was alot of outdoor people, meaning it looked like a outdoor brand event party. Kinda like everyone was from REI of sorts, but everyone sported their Patagonia, NorthFace, MontBell, etc. Kinda cool, of course I even had to bring my Mt. Hardware jacket to blend in. Cool to see more laid back outdoor people, rather than the everyday stylish Gucci, Prada, etc stuff on the streets.

TEACHER MEETING IN OSAKA
Went to Osaka today for the ELT meeting. Learned how to have your class make surveys and interview foreigners, quite interesting, and the other seminar taught how teach the MAT system to elementary kids, pretty informative and cool. Talked to some of the presenters and they asked what school I worked at. Told them I work at Toyo High School and to my suprise most people knew my school. It's all about the baseball, that's what my school is famous for. Met up with Kim, good to was doing well in Osaka. Polished off the evening by travelling almost an hour to eat one of the finest hamburgers in Japan at Kuaaina. A hamburger joint from Hawaii. Ordered up the 1/2 lb burger, not sure if that was a good idea, but hey if I gonna go, I gotta eat. The burger was a little too well done, it was better last time, oh well.

ENGLISH INTERVIEWS
This week I have been working hard with Harada sensei to get the kids ready for their English interview test. 5 students in total, 4 from 2-1 class and 1 from 3-1 class. They all passed the level 2 writing part of the test which is pretty good. But they have alot of work to do in passing their interview. They don't practice speaking enough, so well, its not so good. But I am crossing my fingers and working hard, I hope they all can pass but I am not sure. I was like the second to last teacher tonite, been leaving school around 8pm. Sure is tiring, but I enjoy the challenge.
Yeah ... alot of stuff going on and just not enough time, how am I gonna pass my Japanese test, I dont study, hahaha. Then I got grad school apps due in Jan. Oh my,too many things to do!
