Speaking of sports days, I recently found out that my husband's company has daily exercise/stretch time at 8:25 am, 11:55 pm, and 7:55 pm- they last for about 5 minutes, there is a recorded song that plays and there must be some routine they know to follow. In fact, until recently, he said he did participate in the first two of the day. Also, he just had his annual jump rope contest at work, which sadly to say, his team did not win, last year, I think his team was in the finals.
My kids went on a "homeschool" field trip to the Pocky factory, this is the biscuit sticks dipped in different flavors of chocolate. The highlight of the trip, according to the three boys and our two neighbors was watching the workers that were switching shifts do their stretches before beginning their day of work. This morning, when I was out running, I noticed the man who operates the scooter garage, standing outside his office, after opening the gates doing his toe touches and shoulder stretches and I had to chuckle. However, chuckling aside, you rarely see an overweight japanese person, I wonder why.
Here are some photos from Addison's sports day:
