Football, Footie, Soccer, the Beautiful Game. Whatever you want to call it, I'm gonna be covering the right offensive wing this weekend for my boys, Team Dasai. We've practiced all year, and now we're off to compete in the Annual AJET Soccer Tournament - current and former JET participants from all over Japan, congregating on the windswept fields of Nagano.
This city may ring a bell, as it was the location of the 1998 Winter Olympics. It being mid-June, we will unfortunately miss out on the snowy splendor of the hills surrounding Nagano. Also, I have a feeling that the famous snow monkeys of Nagano won't be out and about during our stay.
This leaves us with the challenge of creating a bit of our own splendor on the soccer pitch. And well...somebody's gotta stand-in for the monkeys. Here's to a fun, victorious, injury-free weekend.
