It is the season of summer festivals! Recently, I watched the fireworks at Sakaiminato Festival, and their will be many more local events soon. What is your favorite thing to do at summer festivals? Personally, I like playing games at stalls, but I can never win a prize, so I just eat food instead.

This week some of our students have come to school wearing yukata and jinbei to celebrate the summer holidays! Japan has a rich history of wearing traditional clothing for all sorts of occasions. My home country, the USA, is made up of many different cultural traditions from around the world. There aren't any distinct traditional clothes that are solely American. What do you think should be considered American traditional clothing? - Leah Sensei
Do you have a favorite word in English? How about in Japanese? I think that there are some fun and interesting words in many different languages. Maybe the sound is funny, or maybe the meaning of the word is unusual. For example, I like the french word ``pomme de terre.`` It means potato, but the translation is actually ``apples of the earth.``

Much of Japan is dealing with flooding and rainstorms this time of year. It can be hard to enjoy summer when you're stuck inside! When festivals and beach days are canceled, what do you and your family do for fun? Do you prefer relaxing at home, visiting museums or cafes, going to the movies, or shopping?

These days, there has been a lot of heavy rain and lightning. We call this time of year ``the rainy season,`` in English. I learned that in Japanese, the it`s called ``tsuyu`` and it is written using the Kanji for ``plum`` and ``rain.`` I enjoy watching the lightening, but I don`t like hearing the thunder.

Did you know that recently the United States had a birthday? Well, not really, but the 4th of July is the anniversary of the founding of the U.S.A. We usually celebrate by having a barbeque and watching fireworks. As a country, Japan is much older than the U.S. Does Japan have a birthday? How do you celebrate?
