So it would seem that last night two grade 6 girls were approached by some bloke in a car and offered a lift near the station. They said no and got his license plate number and told the police about it which is all good, but today it has become a HUGE incident and they are all talking about it non-stop. I have heaps of paperwork on my desk about it and during lunch they made an announcement over the PA about it to all the kids. They basically said that there are criminals at large in Kamogata so when you walk home today be careful! Bloody hell, I reckon that would have freaked me out a bit when I was little, being told that there are criminals waiting in bushes to kidnap me today. They could have just given them a reminder about not going with strangers and stuff, but whatever. They all have alarms attached to their bags too. Sometimes they let them off in the classroom and they are so loud. Anyway, if any of them go missing it is their own fault because we have warned them...
Oh, and yesterday the princess gave birth to a son which has also been non-stop gossip over here. Until now there has been no male heir to the throne beyond the princes who are both now in their mid 40s. They were thinknig about changing the law to allow women to ascend to the throne because there were only little girls being born. But now there is a bloke so hurray for Japan they don't have to stain the throne with girl germs. They cancelled my TV show to talk about it too so I wasn't happy. I don't understand why people are so attached to them, they are completely useless - just like the British Royal Family, they are just sucking the state funds living the high life. People think they are gods or something. I mean, I can see why you should have a healthy respect for your country's head of state, even if you don't agree with their policy you know that they have worked hard to be where they are. But royalty are just born into it and so deserve no such respect or admiration.
SO that's the news update on Japan for today.
