World Cup for Father's Day

Today was Father's Day here in Japan, too. Our Papa had to work. We couldn't have done anything anyway. There were thousands and thousands of water rings! (See the posting for June 16). No waves, but there were mini rivers around our house.

The World Cup Soccer game between Japan and Croatia is about to start. Tomorrow is a school day and it's too late for all of us to go so Papa went by himself. He won't be outside, though. Movie theaters across Japan are screening the game for 2000 yen per ticket. That's pretty cheap for tickets here. (The yen changes everyday, but I think it has been about $1.07 lately).

It's the second World Cup game that Papa has watched at the theater. He said there were three security guards there last time. I have never seen a security guard at a movie theater here. Last time he went, they gave him this pennant. Coca Cola is giving these keychains away with the purchase of a bottle of their soft drinks. You can buy the bottles at convenience stores like 7-Eleven and Mini Stop. You probably have these keychains in your country, too.
