Bye bye

So the 3rd graders graduated this week. After a formal graduation ceremony it’s mostly smiling faces (thinking that they did well in their English exam I hope).

I wanted to try that so much.

The 3rd year boys are so funny, they’re always up for a bit of banter.

The girls are really clever, bet they’ll all do well. The girl on the right looks just like your sister Mandela.

Afterwards in the evening it’s all drinking with the parents, some of their moms were pretty flirty. Who would have guessed middle age women are this naughty.

Man, it’s a bit sad to see the 3rd years go, they were a great bunch who studied hard but at the sametime always remembered to have fun.

Japan Railway JR

Can a train ad get any cooler than this?

In another news JR East is currently testing a new Shinkansen train that will have a SERVICE speed of 360km/h! Faster than the current 300 in Japan and France.

Hokkaido doesn’t have Shinkansen, instead JR Hokkaido is developing this weird hybrid bus/train thingy.

Hokkaido also has some steam trains during the winter ‘cos they look awesome.

Although who needs cool trains when you have ads like this one!
