British Embassy Choir Concert

Meiji Gakuen University

British Embassy Choir performs to standing room only hall. The best orchestra we have performed with. It was an exhilarating performance.

I was thinking about what I was doing exactly one year ago and I thought of my old neighborhood of Piazza Santa Croce. I looked it up and came up with this amazing picture of Santa Croce in 1966 after the great flood which destroyed so many priceless pieces of art. The water was up to the feet of Dante, the statue you see in the middle. The statue is now to the left side of the church.

Other pictures I found:

Today in my Senior 3 class we split into four groups. Each group represented a man who is dating Junko, a made up person. They each had their profile, good and bad things about themselves. Each group had to present arguements why they were the best man for Junko. They really got into it!! One student was quite upset that their group didn't win. I was very proud of them.

Bored on a Sunday...

I had fun playing with photoshop this afternoon. It's a very, very windy and rainy day here in Tokyo. The gusts are so strong that I keep going out to the porch to see if everything is standing up. I just made curry rice. Jonathan went out to get red wine.

Hang in there Farrah!!!
