The past few days have been filled with the students’ excitement and preparation for their Bunkasai festival, which is on this weekend. I have attended their Mass Games rehearsal and was very impressed at the way the students could remember all of the different dance moves, especially when using a range of props. They are a very talented bunch.
This week was also my first time in Hazama, Hachioji. The first thing I saw when I stepped onto the platform were the green mountains in the distance. They looked so peaceful; it reminded me to start hill and mountain climbing, especially now that the weather is a lot cooler. Tokyo has so much to offer in this regard with its natural side such a contrast to its city life. It has the best of both worlds.
