So after all the visitors and traveling, I thought things would slow down and settle a little. Ah, foolish me. It lulled for a just a short while, we had to say goodbye to the JETs who left this year, and then we had a group of new JETs come in just last month. And so we've been full of group events, karaoke, BBQs, parties, etc. to hang out and get to know the new peoples. The highlights (for which I'll put up pictures) have been the Karatsu beach party, the Takeo Space and Science Museum, Fireworks festival in Ureshino, playing taiko at the local Matsuri (festival) in my own town of Fukudomi (followed by a party to celebrate one of my Japanese taiko buddies who proposed to his girlfriend at the festival!), picking the famous Rencon (lotus root) of my town, and cliff diving up at the Ryutosen waterfall.
On the horizon for next month is possibly going to Sunset Live again this year (one of my earlier posts last year as on this music fest) and then a trip to Thailand near the end of Sept.
Takeo Space and Science Museum had a fun gyro swing.
3 Japanese kids in a giant bubble!
Summer in Japan means plenty of fireworks festivals to go to :)
Yep, jumped from this one too.

Festival time as the kids prepare to carry the shrine.
