  I&#8217;m in love with a new blog. It&#8217;s CMstyle.tv. What a fantastic blog!   
Basically it shows you all the different advertisements that are currently going on in Japan right now. As I said before, Japan uses famous peoples to advertise their goodies. So check out CMstyle.tv to see what the wacky [...]]]></description>

		<title>Tales from Middle School in Japan</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
			
				
			
		
In all my schools there are probably only two kids that I would consider problem children. Which means I&#8217;m pretty lucky. And the two of them aren&#8217;t really problems at all. They are both in the same class, a grade 7 class. One just sits there and does nothing. At first I thought he would [...]]]></description>

		<title>I Miss My Grade 3ers!!</title>

Yesterday was the graduation of the grade three students at middle school (9th year of schooling). And I didn&#8217;t get to be there  Yes, I&#8217;m sad about that because I got to know my grade 3 students the best out of all of them &#8211; especially the girls who were a lot of fun.

		<title>Why books for 10 year olds are easier than books for 5 year olds</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
			
				
			
		
Previously I&#8217;ve posted about Japanese children&#8217;s stories and also websites intended for Japanese children. At the time I was experimenting with children&#8217;s books but the experience ultimately left me a bit frustrated. The vocabulary (both content and the fact it was mostly hiragana) was difficult and the content was a bit juvenile (while stories about [...]]]></description>

		<title>Eating Update</title>

  Two weeks ago I said I was working on my fitness. Well, how has the last two weeks been? Well&#8230;  There has been improvement and there hasn&#8217;t been.
For starters I think I was getting really good with my food intake, but I&#8217;ve let it slip a little this week which is disappointing. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Ikuta Toma Is Everywhere And I Like It</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
			
				
			
		
  Yesterday my grade 9 students were going through the photos on my phone and came across this one. &#8220;What&#8217;s this?&#8221; They asked. I replied, &#8220;I love Ikuta Toma!&#8221; This got them very very excited indeed. Which in turn got me very excited.
One of my students has already seen Ningen Shikkaku, or &#8220;No Longer [...]]]></description>

		<title>Don&#8217;t Review Sentences in Your SRS</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
			
				
			
		
After a brief love affair with smart.fm (who look like they have actually improved a lot since I last used them &#8211; good to know for if/when I go back!), I&#8217;ve been back with anki a little while now. 

One thing I haven&#8217;t done in a gazillion years is reviewing sentences. I think perhaps reviewing [...]]]></description>

		<title>Advertising in Japan</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
			
				
			
		
 There is a big difference in advertising in Japan vs. Australia. 
In Australia the majority of advertisement is by (unknown) actors acting as &#8220;everyday&#8221; people. For instance, an advertisement for KFC in Australia will perhaps feature a family enjoying their meal, or to make the unhealthy content somehow appealing by calling it &#8220;fresh&#8221;.

		<title>Valentines Day in Japan</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
			
				
			
		
Valentines day is different in Japan than it is in Australia. The main thing here is that on Vday girls give chocolate (if it&#8217;s hand made all the better) to a special someone. They also have a custom of giving it to male co-workers and the like, but to be honest I&#8217;m not all that [...]]]></description>
