The weather each day gets warmer and warmer and then thunder and lighting each afternoon and then it gets cooler.

These are funny dancing iron dust and they move to music and ot was so cool.


The fire was cool because it made a volcano and when it stopped ot became a steam volcano and was very hot.

Japanese bath house - onsen

Dear class,
I have been to a number of onsen and here is what happens in an onsen.

You go into a change area wearing your yukata which is like a kimono but for summer.
Then you strip off, put your clothes in a locker, then you go to special low taps to wash yourself all over so that you're very clean.
The reason why you strip off is that there might be germs in your bathers. They think it's just normal and you get used to being named.  Girls are in one area and boys in the other and you go in pools that are very hot and have sulphur in them which smells alot.

Tuna market and factory in Kii-Katsuura

 Dear class,
This is a picture of some tuna that they are making and they're also making sushi out of fish.
They catch it, bring it in to there, they weigh to see how heavy. Then they cut the head off and fin.
Then they put it in a box of water.

Staying in a temple with the Shingon Buddhists in Koyasan.

Hi guys!
I'm with some monks!
We went and stayed in a temple and had to take our shoes off and put special slippers on and special gowns.



We sat on the floor and ate delicious food on trays including lots of bean dishes!

 We got up early at 6 am and prayed with the monks in the temple

 After breakfast we walked to the musoleum past lots of graves. There were cup things that you hold out and you do two things.
You get some water and first put water on your right hand and then your left hand. Then you get more water and drink it and this is to clean yourself before the temple.

There are also stone statues and you put water in the cup and throw water at the statue then after that you make a wish.



 This is us and there are paper walls and you each have a private dining room and you can hear the monks purposely go around and prey to each room. You can hear because they are paper walls.
It's very hard to be quiet!
But it's very fun
