The Toilet is Delicious!
I went on an environmental exchange program to southern Korea with seven children and two adults over the weekend. The Japanese children met Korean children, and we did outdoor activities together: birdwatching, catching fish and insects in a marsh, and harvesting rice. I enjoyed watching the children interact. The boys looked everywhere for insects, and the Japanese boys were excited when they found a grasshopper that doesn’t live in Japan. A Korean junior high school student took some great pictures of flying birds and shared them with us. A Japanese girl used her smartphone as a camera and took funny pictures of the other children. I laughed when a Japanese boy used his new Korean words to make a strange sentence, “Hwajangshil mashissoyo!” which means “The toilet is delicious!” (129 words) Jaremaga now comes out online on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays.
