I went to the movie "Rush Hour 3" starring Chris Tucker and Jackie Chan with my kids.
My older daughter (11yo) likes Jackie Chan very much and asked me to go to the movie.
Tell the truth, looooong long ago, I liked him very much when I was in junior high school. ;-)
Jackie is 53 years old now....wow...and still be an action star!
Movie was nice. The story was easy to understand, no nude, no blood and very funny.
The conbination of two, Chris and Jakie, were working great.
My younger daughter can't read the caption (it's too fast to read for younger kids) ,
but she laughed aloud during the movie, and after that, she said "I enjoyed soooo much!! I wanna see it again!".
I understand why Jackie is still popular among kids all over the world.

the end of Summer
It is coooooool today.
Recently, It was too hot and humid to do anything.
The climate in Japan is usually mild and confortable.
But, these days, especially in summer, something is going wrong.
City area, I mean Tokyo, is worse.
Countryside, where I live in, is very hot, too.
I put water into the small pool in the garden (under tree shades)
every day for my daughter.
I was afraid that playing without water cause kinda heatstroke or something like that.
It seemed the hottest summer lasted forever, but it dosen't.
A few days ago, I heard crickets were singing.
It was the sign of coming Autumn.

Meteor Shower
I set an alarm clock at 2:30 AM to see 'the Perseid meteor shower'.
At 2:30, still dark, I woke my kids up and went outside.
There was moonless night last night, so it was a good day for star viewing.
We were watching northeast sky and counting shooting stars for about fifteen minutes.
I could see three shooting stars and my husband and kids could, too.
Tell the truth, I expected more shooting stars. However, three stars were not so bad number.
The place we live is near the city, so the sky is a little bit lighter even if there was moonless.
This morning, I reported the number of the shooting star I could see to the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan via internet. They always gather the data and information about meteor shower (where, when, how many, etc..) throughout Japan.
My older daughter reported, too. It was a good educational experience, wasn't it? ;-)

peace and prayer
Today is the day that the United States dropped the first Atomic bomb in Hiroshima 62years ago, so August 6 is one of the most important memorial days for us.
Every year, the siren rings at 8:15 AM throughout Japan.
It's the same time when the atomic bomb was dropped 62 years ago.
During the siren (for one minute), we, Japanese, pray for eternal peace and solemnly promise not to go to the war again.
Of course we do the same kind of ceremony on August 9 every year.
It is the day when the second A-bomb was dropped in Nagasaki city.
I always pray that every man and women, every children from all over the world can live their lives happily and healthy, without fear and scare to death.
I hate the WAR.
