There’s a small coastal town in Japan called Obama. November 4th is now an annual holiday there, and a statue of Obama is going up in front of the city hall. Not to mention the rice sweets with his face, or that song “Obama is Beautiful World” (it pretty much sums up Japan’s sentiments and knowledge surrounding Obama, probably worth the youtube).
Of course my kids love him too. The chalkboard in the back of the rooms is usually full of the scribbles in Japanese, anime drawings, and a few random things in English (including the occasional SEX or the like). This week, they’re all chalking Obama-isms. I missed this photo opp, but here was my favorite:
“Yes we can.”
“No you can’t.”
“Yes, we did.”
Here’s the new school inspiration which appeared in the halls one day (the Japanese is the translation, and that large character is just says the name of the school)
