soccer at yowara
so I'm at Yowara Junior High and only the 1st and 2nd years are left. We played an epic Jeopardy game where I brought in the hayashi pin pon bu bu( just a fancy quiz buzzer with a great name). Teams lost others prevailed, but afterwards I remembered the promise I made last month. That I would play soccer with them. Of course I currently have a cold and can't breathe but whatever a promise is a promise. So I change into my soccer stuff a plain t-shirt with soccer zip-up, under shorts and even longer shorts on top, and tennis shoes. When I walk out one of the teachers sees me and yells Beautiful! I'm immediately stop and give a look of skepticism. Uh what? The teacher repeatedly says beautiful foot! Which leads me to more fake smiling and laughing. The word for foot and leg is the same in Japanese. So beautiful foot basically can mean leg of foot in Japanese. I was being complimented on my legs and how white they were...This is the only country this would happen. In America I might blind someone with how white I am now. Another teacher looks at me and bluntly says, "Maybe the will not play soccer"... I was like, "What?? I just got all dressed", Then she responds with, "Maybe they will just look at your legs." I laughed for a good ten minutes then went and played the strangest game of soccer ever. The goals were on the side of the field and we played in a kind of rainbow arching shape. It was hilarious.
