The best hair cut

Howdy yall, Hope things are good in the states. This week is counseling week at AEON. Which means I have to make my own lessons, again. I am teaching English for Travel and American Slang. Once again, I over-estimated my students abilities and now I am trying to completely re-do my lessons. Its kinda frustrating....I think they should be able to do something, but, the can't. Well, that won't stop me! At least the students are having fun...which to me is the most important element. If they are having fun, it is easier to learn.

Now, onto the best hair cut I have ever gotten. I went to a salon and they first washed my hair. It was an amazing experience! They treated me like a god! It was so nice. Then obviously, they cut my hair. And they were so nice, we managed to communicate in broken English and Japanese. I had to point to a picture in a magazine of how I wanted my hair to look. They were extremely nice and patient with me. They even gave me magazines, although I couldn't read any of them! Well, after the cut, they washed my hair, again! AND then comes the best part...they massaged my scalp and shoulders. Oh I was in heaven! It was so nice! I felt so good! I couldn't believe it!

On a sad note, 7 people were killed in Akihabara on Sunday because some guy went psycho and killed them. He drove a truck and ran over three people then got out of the truck and began stabbing people. Crimes like this are on the rise in Japan but I still feel very safe here. I am just happy I wasn't in Akihabara that day. It is a beautiful section of Tokyo. I am going to Tokyo this Monday to meet up with some friends from training. It is getting hotter here but I hear yall are in a heat wave! I hope it cools down soon!

Sounds like you're having a blast! Are you coming back to Pa in July for the Feroz Brothers Reunion? My new husband, Jason, and his kids Lily (10) and Jacob (5) will be going down with me. I can hardly wait to see everyone! I would love to come visit you in Japan ~ I had a facial a couple weeks ago and they gave me a shoulder and scalp massage ~ it is truly the best! You never realize how much tension is stored in your neck and head until someone massages it away! I'm glad I have access to your blog, it's nice to stay updated on your experiences and travels. Be Well ~ Love Sandy
