weekend / manic monday

so the weekend was amazing with my dad! it was exactly what i needed, it was relaxing and everything. we went to shiri castle which is actually a replica of the original ones because the old ones were ruined. after that we took a monorail to kokosai street where we did some shopping and it was really fun just spending time with him!.
we did a lot of waking and it was kind of tireing but i enjoyed the time we spent together!
he left mid sunday and the rest of the day i kinda just hung out and did nothing

but now Monday well its been crazy today at work we had the fire department come and do a little show! it was so cool they brought in all their gear showed the kids how it all worked and even let them play on the fire truck. they let every kid do the hose too! i jumped in and did it it wasn't as powerful as i expected but it probably want full blast. i couldn't imagine wearing all that fire gear here in okinawa its already 90 degrees and then the hot heavy gear on top would kill!

another thing i realized that is really different from back at the states is the TV here . bedides the fact that we only get about 10 channels in English and 7 of thoes are sports and its never current they are playing games that happened last week that we all already know the results to. there are no commercials. i know that most of the time that is great but instead of commercials they have these like public announcements that are just horrible!!!! they are the worst acting i can ever imagine the most mindless scrips and honestly i dont know what they were thinking when they think its ok to air these on TV. i mean timbercrest junior high tv boradcast was better! they go something like " its hot here in okinawa dont forget to put sun screen on" or " when lifting heavy objects ask for help!" and then a dumb picture of 2 marines picking upa box together. .... now sometimes you can tel the government helped a litle because they are a little better and normally about history like " john so and so did this cartoon balbalbla ... he is an american hero and thats why he honor him" or how words such as "flying by the seat of your pants" is an air force coined term. anyways
thats my frustration
