This past weekend and last minuet changes

So this weekend started out with a baseball game Friday night. It was a great baseball game. It was the Tokyo Giants vs. The Hiroshima Carp. The Carp should have won but there was some horrible defensive plays and also one atrocious reffing. I found it interesting how at the baseball game there were three different beer companies, with a total of 5 beers to choose from, also lemon sours and whiskeys. All of this was in the stands vending. The beer girls (all women) carry on their backs a mini keg and run up and down the stairs. It is crazy. After that we got some drinks with some friends and about a few drinks in I had to try and explain the history of the Christian church and the reason for the split. Ya that was interesting.

Saturday was spent hiking up in the mountains. I was supposed to meet a large group of friends, but they all canceled and I did not have a cell phone to find out, but at least two of them still showed up. The mountain was pretty touristy, but once I found a good trail we could at least walk on dirt instead of pavement. After a extremely long day hiking we had dinner at the beer garden on the top of the mountain.

Sunday started with gong to church. I went to the Catholic church in Menguro that St.Johns built, but latter they gave it to the dioceses and moved to the mountains. The church is defiantly a catholic (universal) church, there were people from Africa, Korea, China, England, Philippines and more. The priest was one of the youngest I have seen, I would say late 20's. After mass I went and purchased a cell phone, which has already helped a lot.

Today was the interesting day. I showed up to work, just in time to have one of my co-workers wave me to her phone and tell me the head of the English department was on the phone. Sandra informed me that Bryan and I would be teaching two classes this week, Monday and Thursday as they had not been able to find a new English teacher. Bryan and I thought we had to make a lesson plan so we thought that we would just ask the students about their summer vacations and what not. We also assigned some homework. They have to read 10 poems and for each poem write one sentence explaining the purpose and then two sentences of reaction. We figure this will be hard but they should be up to the challenge.
