My Japanese class has started again after the long winter break, we took the tollway and missed our exit (!!!) Our original exit would have cost 160 yen ($2plus) but we ended up paying 760 yen ($10). Thankfully with the help of GPS, we managed to find our way to the school. The only good outcome was we found many eateries located behind the school. New places to eat!
The teachers brought peanuts for us to have a taste of Japanese culture - Setsubun (to celebrate end of winter and welcome spring) with Mamemaki (豆撒き). Usually the head of the household would wear the demon mask and the kids will throw the beans chanting "go away evil, happiness come in". We were having ball of time throwing the peanuts at our classmates and we were supposed to pick up the beans and ate it (peanuts amount should be your current age + 1). I ate a few as I felt its was dirty to eat those peanuts thrown on the ground lol...
