Japanese-Brazilians in Japan

While I was in the City for that conference, I went shopping on Friday, too. I went with this woman in my group who was alone, too. She teaches on an island and only gets an ALT 3xs a year. Then again, there are only 6 jh kids at her combined el/jr hi. She thought this Christmas tree was cute. It's made of feathers so it feels soft and nice and snowy. But, damn! I really think it looks like creepy monster arms. I would have nightmares if this thing was in my home!
