Last Sunday, I was invited for the third time to the Ito Fisherman’s Club of Tokushima City’s annual summer barbecue.  Although I’ve never been fishing, Mrs. Akane sensei of the kindergarten I work at has been inviting me to the barbecue for fun since I’ve started teaching at her school.  At this year’s barbecue, I won the top BINGO prize, a brand new Dyna Balance Rinkai Special 1-530 Shimano fishing rod, sticker priced at over 500 bucks!  Now I have no idea what I just wrote, nor do I know the first thing about fishing, but being the first to scream “BINGO!” after they finished hyping up the grand prize sure fealt good!!  Check out the picture of me, my new Dyna Balance Rinkai Special 1-530 Shimano fishing rod with members of the Ito Fisherman’s Club below!!
