Amanda's Journal Entry #12
2009.11.30 Monday
Hey guys! I can't believe I am writing this entry of the last day of November! Tomorrow will be December 1st! Time goes by sooooooooo fast! We are starting to do Christmas games in the classes this week! Let us know if you like them! I really like Christmas lights. Without them, winter seems so dark. I just feel happy when I see lights. So, this past weekend I went to Nagoya, and my bf and I went to a really interesting photo exhibit. It was about the immediate post-war period in Japan. Afterwards, when my bf and I were talking, we couldn't believe the photos were taken only 50 or 60 years ago. In many of the photos, people were still wearing wooden geta, farming rice and fishing by hand, etc. Modernization seems to have happened so fast! Neither my bf or I could even imagine a life like that, but less than 100 years ago, it was the norm. Sometimes I wonder what would happen if my people like us suddenly found ourselves in those kind of circumstances. I'm not sure I would be able to survive, but I would definitely try really hard to!!! Well, looking forward to seeing you all again for another great week!
