- 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 :)

Very cool!
We 'caught' a ladybug (Japanese word, please?) at the end of our picnic at the Arboretum on Monday... Caitlin couldn't have cared less, but AbbyLynn (her 5 1/2 yr old cousin) was super excited :-)
"tentomushi"
Kanji:
"ten" - sky, heavens
"tou" ("toe") - district, journey, moral, street, teachings
"mushi" - bug
I'll let you draw your own conclusions :)
