A trip to Tokyo Aleworks
Kenny mentioned that there was a great new beer place in Yurakucho called Tokyo Ale Works.. We went there for 3-4 beers and I can say he was right. The beer there is AMAZING. Here are a few random photos.
The Hop Samarye beer is delicious !
They have a good bottled beer there as well.
Technology Thursday
Does anyone use their phone so much the battery has died? (電池切れだ)
Have you ever tried an external battery? I bought one last year but it’s too heavy. It’s not really practical. (それは実践的ではありません)
I asked a few people and they said RAV Power 10000mAh Power Bank is pretty good.
It’s small, light weight and has good recharging power. It sells for 3,999 yen on Amazon so it’s not so expensive.

- What is James Bond’s signature gun?
- Where does the name James Bond come from?

Sumo at Ryogoku Kokugikan
We went to watch day 13 of the November sumo Tournament and it was so much fun.
I really like it when they bring out all the wrestlers from the East and West and introduce them. Here’s a short clip of it. Don’t mind the old man passing in front of the camera hahaha.
My 5 favorite wrestlers at the moment are 1) Terunofuji 2) Ryuden
3) Kotoecho 4) Daieisho and 5)Tobizaru.
Do you have a favorite sumo wrestler? We would really like to know.

Mind Challenge Monday #23
Word game!
Here is a game called Boggle. We can see letters in a 4 by 4 grid.
So our job is to make words from the letters. they can be 3 letter words, 4 letter words, 5 letter words , 6 letter words and even some 7 letter words.
We make words by connecting the letters . Look at example 1.
Example 1
You can see that we have connected N O S and E together to spell NOSE. That’s 1 four letter word.
Example 2
Here we connected L E S S O and N to spell LESSON. A 5 letter word.
How many words can you find? we finished with 38 words
Pet month is finished today
Well pet month has come to an end. It was a lot of fun.
We only got one student’s pet photo story/entry so we are disappointed but that’s life.

Let’s get silly!
Kelly’s dog!
Everyone,
Meet Monty, the best dog in the history of the universe. (ha ha)
Not only is he super cute, but I’ve never met a dog with a better personality. He’s really social and loves everyone he meets, including other dogs!
Every day that I slept on the air mattress, he would wake me up by laying across my face and neck so that I would scratch him. Then, when he was done being scratched on one side, he’d flip over, flop down on my chest again and wait for me to continue scratching. I can’t say it enough…he’s SO cute!
Here is a picture of us over the winter holidays when I was back in the U.S. Monty was around one and a half at the time. Look at those blue eyes and still pink nose!
