| Despite a recent error that meant a lot of my archived blogs were deleted, I am now up and running again at www.janken-san.co.uk . Some photos have been added and I am now also working in conjunction with the Upstart Man in adding to the other sections of the site, so why not take a look?!

| The japanese word for rubbish is gomi. In my village there are 6 tyoes
of gomi. Yes, six, that means that I have 6 seperate bins and 6
seperate collection days for each item. The types of gomi are as follows
1. burnable waste (food, paper)
2. plastic (carrier bags, food wrappers, crisp bags, play dough)
3. PET plastic (drinks bottles, with labels and lids removed because labela and lids fall under plastic category)
4. aluminium cans (beer cans, fanta cans etc)
5. other metal cans (tins of tuna and corn etc)
6. glass (wine bottles, jars etc)
However, I have decided to add a sevent category. I have done this becasue there are some things I just can't place.
7. The 7th category is called the Lawsons category. Lawsons have these
amazing bins that you can do a drive by dump at, by buying a pack of
gum then depositing difficult waste in their bins as you leave. Items
that fall into this category are as follows
staples, chewing gum, shampoo bottles (they dont say PET on them),
washing powder boxes, tin foil, leaves and twigs, mukade remains, bath
mats that have gone mouldy etc etc
Ok so someone is probably going to tell me the correct receptacle for
each of the items but I just can't risk it. Theyre very militant with
the gomi issue, and bags of incorrectly sorted rubbish get returned
with a letter on how to sort properly, along with a slapped wrist from
your neighbourhood head honcho...

| Snoopy, the new wave.
Today I did a class where I copied the first part of a snoopy cartoon,
and the kids had to draw two more frames to finish off the story and
the write narration underneath.
Some of the funnier entries included
1. Snoopy getting his head cut off and the comment 'SNOOPY IS DEAD!!!!'
2. A boy catching a ball and the comment 'its easy for me'.
3. A kid drawing Pele (the soccer star) in the last box and writing 'Pele?' underneath, and left it at that.
4. A girl writing, 'No wait, it fall in the river!'
5. The boy who adapted 'munchy' the textbook cartoon character into a daog killer.
They have such imagingation.
