Fall has come...

I just noticed it's been a while since my last post. Things got a bit busy here after coming back from holidays, and the school year started. We had a cultural festival, which was quite fun. All the clubs and classes of all grades performed dances, plays, showed videos they made, and played music. They were wearing nice costumes, and had a few games and competitions. I might post a few videos later I took about the performances. 

About 3weeks ago, we saw in TV program we regularly watch a special Hawaiian pancake. It's called Haupia, and is basically pancake with OMG Delicious & Creamy Coconut Sauce...Last weekend was a 3 days weekend, so we went there again. The restaurant is in Tenma, very close to the station, it's called Mauloa. Even though it was a long weekend, the place was not crowded and we could indulge ourselves in coconut flavoured stuff....by accident everything we ordered this time had coconuts LOL. My Prince ate coconut curry, while I enjoyed my haupia, and we shared a volcano (a frozen drink made of coconut milk, pineapple juice and strawberry sauce). The urge to travel to Hawaii just got stronger...good old ABBA..".money, money, money....If I had a little money"....I would totally move to Hawaii.

Drink, curry and pancakes...

My Love-HAUPIA

Also, Halloween is coming up. Ever since my first Halloween party in Japan, I was always wearing the same witch costume I bought at Claire's. I always said, next year I'm gonna be something different. That plan was never realized...until now!!! YEP! I bought a new costume...actually, two costumes. Carefully thinking about my personality and rank :) I decided on somebody, who would be a perfect match: Marie Antoinette. One of the costumes is a beautiful long blue dress (I'm going to change the bows though, coz those look cheap), the other one is a sexy version of Marie. A beautiful fuchsia and gold minidress with black lace decoration. I also got a matching wig, and some victorian shoes ( those were the closest match I could find). The website had a special 20-50% off campaign, so I didn't even pay too much for these 4 items. The long dress I plan to wear at the high school for a special Halloween lesson, and the mini dress I'll wear at the language schools drinking-Halloween party. I'm soooo EXCITED!!!

...and the dresses... :D

Except for the special Halloween lesson, we have a few other fun things going on at school. With the Aussie teacher we started showing the kids movies in English in lunch time. Also, we were invited to visit a a school for special needs children and do two lessons, one for elementary and one for junior high school age kids, who are mentally challenged. We are now planning the lessons. I'm a bit nervous about the outcome.
