So when I was working, most of my conversations were in Japanese. At home my wife and I usually use Japanese as well. As a result, my English skills have started slipping. And now I'm out of work, so I'm not using Japanese all that much. My Japanese skills are rapidly deteriorating, which is bad. So...right now, I can't really speak either language all that well. So I'm stupid in either language...great.
One reason I want to start writing this blog again is because I think it might just help me recover some of the language/writing skills I've lost. Though I haven't been very good at posting regularly...
This morning I went to see an archery demonstration. These guys were trying to hit targets, basically. The catch was that they were on horseback, and the horse was galloping down the track. There were three targets in a row, and due to the speed of the horses, each rider only had a few seconds to draw an arrow, notch it, aim, and shoot at the target. I had a camera with me, but it was Shoko's camera. There was too much of a lag in between when I pushed the shutter button and when the picture was actually taken. I couldn't figure out how to put it on continuous shooting mode/movie mode. Oh well. Next year I'll have to get myself a nice SLR in order to take some good shots of the action.
