Folding origami is an essential tradition to the Japanese society. I even think they teach children the craft in school. You can buy the little square papers in millions of colors and patterns everywhere and most places also little origami books with instructions.. In Japanese only, thank you Japan!
Well as you can se from the picture above, I was able to fold some animals without understanding the instructions.. How cute is the whaleJ
IT'S SUMO BABY!! Allan, my brother Kaare who came to visit us this week, and I went to Osaka to see what you only can experience in Japan.. Sumo. We all loved the sport and had a very cool day watching the tournament. I am simply amazed by these giants who toss each other around and give what appear to be gigantic wedgies to each other. Ouch!!!! We learned that these big fellows are quite popular and the best of them even earn lots of money and dates models..OMG! The game is quite simple. To win you have to push your opponent out of the ring or make them touch the ground with their hands or knees. This usually takes 24 seconds. The rest of the time they perform old rituals, stare each other down, wash them selves and toss salt in the ring to prevent getting hurt during the game..YES salt will save you if your faith is strong enough. We also learned that size doesn’t matter in sumo…
