A hummer?

Yesterday we had off and I went to a few different stores looking for things for the family. One of the things I was looking for was a bike. I am hoping to find a used one so it will be cheaper and probably still really nice. One of the bike shops didn't have any used bikes but they did have this.

This is a yellow hummer bike. That red and white checkered seat would have been a sweet addition but that is from a different bike. If you want to own a hummer or tell your friends you have a hummer without spending all that money for a big one with 4 wheels. You can pick this 2-wheeled, 1 seated version up for a little over $300. I do have to say though for $300 it needs to have some sort of key to start it or some special amenity for that price. What do you think.? (They also  had a Chevrolet bike)

Fashion show

Yesterday our team was part of a fashion show. It was a real fashion show with a runway and everything. When we got there the girls going down the runway were showing off active wear. Somebody also said that wedding dresses were being shown as well as fall collections. (As I was sitting eating dinner yesterday with the tv on they did a story on it and this a picture from the TV story).

I do have to say though we probably had to best at working the runway................. Or something like that

Dinner and sumo

Tonight I sat down to eat dinner and when I turned on the tv sumo was on. I think there are 4 tournaments a year so it's not on all that much and it was nice to sit down and watch it - it's pretty cool.

Tokyo University Performance - Precision

One of my teammates showed me this video. It is from a university here in Japan and this was a performance they did in Tokyo. Could we maybe see something like this in 2020 when the Olympics come to Japan?

This video is the whole performance the put on.

Check it out - pretty cool

 

Let me know what you think

Where I stay

In one of my other posts I mentioned that right now I am staying in an apartment/dorm with some of the others. I thought I would include some pictures from the area. Our dorm, looking down the street toward the mountains, and one of the many rice fields around here with the mountains in the distance.

Good English

Today i was down in the laundry room and happen to notice this as the name of one of our dryers.

Okay, the steam dryer part makes sense, but what about the line below it?

Does that mean the machine spins the clothes around in an oval or almost round motion? or does it mean that the inside drum is almost round? Or could it be that this was sold as a discount because the manufacturing process was a little off, where the correctly put together machines say "simple round clothes dryer"?  But since it was close and the thing still works well they just say "roundish"?

Or, and most likely, is it just a simple case of great English :). ?
