Every month, my kindergarten has a celebration day for all the birthday boys and girls of that month. In January, that included all of one boy. As someone whose birthday is in January (and a born again Sagittarius), I got to be included.
I'm the one in the middle with the pink bow.
About two weeks ago, it was that time of year again, where the kindergartners harvest the potatoes they had planted the previous year. Ogimi kids have it made as they can just walk outside and start digging. The kids in Naha (the big city), however, have to make a 1.5 hour trip north to Yomitan. Suckers.
Okinawa cherry blossoms bloom in late January and usually only last about 2-3 weeks. After one of my classes, I walked around with my cell phone snapping some shots. Later that week, I brought my real camera and took some better ones, but those are on my hard drive at home. Sorry.
