It's been a blast here lately. We went to a real beach yesterday and it was absolutely gorgeous. In Japan, though, there is a jellyfish that can kill. It is called the Box Jellyfish, and it is the most poisonous, venomous animal in the entire world! The beach swimming area is surrounded by a net to protect swimmers from the Box Jellyfish, but it is not a very big space so swimming wasn't that much fun. It's amazing that even though the Box Jellyfish is deadly that it can't sting through any clothes - not even something as thin as a pair of pantyhose. People in Okinawa always carry a spray bottle of vinegar with them to the beach in case of a jellyfish sting. The vinegar will help neutralize the jellyfish until medical help can be reached.
Friday, in science class we did some chemical experiments with electricity. Today, Dad forgot to make dinner so we ended up with KFC which isn't at all like the ones in America. We also got Hawaiian shaved ice and it was awesome. I went to a Chinese garden today and it was very tranquil. I found out that the dad is the owner of a very wealthy insurance company. This week Hiroto has exams for college application.
Could you please tell us about baseball?
ReplyDeleteyes, please tell us how the baseball team was. Did you get to practice with them?
ReplyDeleteI find the jelly fish fascinating, as a diver, and wonder what kind it is. Did you see one?
