Japanese word of the day 本日の日本語の単語

今日の日本語の単語はドジです！　多分この単語はイギリス英語の単語'dodgy'から来ました. 分かりませんでも面白いと思います！

Today's Japansese word is ドジ　pronounced 'doji'. I guess this word came from the English 'dodgy' but the meaning is slightly different. ドジ is forgetfull or scatty. For example 彼はちょっとドジですね which maybe translates to something like - 'he is bit of scatterbrain isnt he'. For a girl you might say 彼女はちょっとドジですね。　which maybe translates to something like 'she is a bit blonde!' (sorry to all my blonde friends!)

I don't think I'll ever get bored with this beach. The sunsets are breathtaking.

Onoda Senior High School Sports Day

Summer Closing Ceremony at Onoda Senior High

Last Friday was the closing ceremony at Onoda Senior High. It's during ceremonies like this that I am reminded that I'm living in Japan, and it can be quite an emotional feeling at times. It was nice because the soft tennis team at this school have done really well recently, so the leaving ceremony was combined with a good luck ceremony for the boys attending the next big tournament. I hope they do well as these kids are really dedicated.
