Tara was very excited about this speech contest. She was even more excited after she decided on her speech topic: Doraemon! "Watashi wa Doraemon ga daisuki desu." "I like Doraemon very much."

Our teacher, Ooyama sensei, was all dressed up for the event she sponsored.

We knew three of the speakers:

Tod, Kristen and Tara

However, overall there were many participants. Seth knew exactly what it will be like to go to our future kid's Christmas pagents, plays and graduations - he sat through hours of things he didn't understand so that he could hear Tara's 3 minutes!

After the contest, we were walking by the OLJ Acadamy in Shibuya and found this excellent example of vending machines.
