Parental Check-up

I was sooooooo super duper happy when my parents came to Japan in March. It felt like a dream. So weird to see family in Japan. I tried to be a good daughter but that didn't last for long. They got really irritated with me because I kept telling them not to do this and that because it's not the Japanese waaay. BUT nevertheless, they were good times.

I took them to Kyoto to do 2 things; See Maiko san and Cherry blossoms. We saw neither. We got ripped off by my local travel agency for seeing Maiko san perform and all they saw of the Cherry blossoms were the buds.... ooops!!!

But I did manage to bring them to the infamous Kyomizu Temple and walked around Gion so hopefully they weren't too disappointed.
My students went NUTS when I brought my parents in as guests. They were all screaming "HELLO OKASAAN" (mom). I'd have to say that the students liked me a bit better afterwards too. Don't know why but who cares, it worked.
This is my last attempt at professional photography: putting the parents in a bucket. AHAHAAA.... don't they look ridiculous.





This was during Golden week (early May) when we went out to Hiroshima for a flower festival. The strange thing about that festival was that there were more candles than flowers. What we're holding up are peace themed designs to be wrapped around the candles.
