Look closely - you'll see that these are tiny paper origami cranes that people have made and donated to the Atomic Bomb Museum in an effort to promote peace.

- Welcome to the life of an ALT (assistant language teacher) in Nagasaki. I started this journal when I visited Japan in 2004 with JFMFTP, then continued it when I returned as a member of the JET Programme in 2006. Enjoy!
Kingyo-chan!
I just got some new fish for the summer season. At the summer festivals, children play a game called "kingyosukui" -they try to catch goldfish with a paper scoop!
You don't have to work too hard to have fun with my fish, though - just move your cursor over top of their pond & click to drop them some little treats :)

Dear Tracey,
I really like Sugar from Hello Kitty. I like kittens. Mommy said you are with Sugar in Japan.
Kitty.
Kitty.
Love,
Basket. Mirror. Bracelet. Bracelet. Treasure Chest. Music Box. Toys. And there are two more loves and one more and one more and one more for my whole family. Kitty.
Gillian Lyn....
Momma.
Bernie.
I know that, Mom.
One day there was a kitten named Citizen Maleege. She falled into the river and she walked back out. She won her necklace when she was the finish line. She jumped into the basket and the treasure chest has two kittens in it and her milk and flowers. And her brother won a charm at the finish line, too. Meow. Meow. Meow.
The scissors was never very far away.
(Typist's note: I can't make this stuff up! I just type as I am told.)
Signed Love,
Gilly
