We usually walk to school, or ride bikes to school.

but usually you cannot drive a car to school.

In Japan you cannot get a regular car license until you turn 18

Maybe some students ride the mopeds or school busses, but...

In my high school almost everyone rode bikes to school.

But some students lived really far from school, and I was one of them. Which sucks.

My high school was about 9km away from my house.

And it took me about 30 minutes to get to school.

Well, looking back maybe it was good exercise, but still...

I complained about it to one of my friends, but it took him

about 1 hour to get to school, to get to his school.

on rainy days, and windy, snowy, on these days it's really annoying.

sometimes roads get frozen, which is very dangerous.

One time when I was riding on a path in a rice paddy,

so, I was really... the road was really narrow and I wanted to stop

Since roads were frozen my bike slipped, and then I accidentally

fell on the ground, fell in the road right in front of this car. And then

Fortunately the car was driving really slowly so I was fine, but...

I even had to go to school when there were typhoons. If you've never had the

experience of riding the bike with an umbrella you might not understand, but...

it's really, really difficult and tiring.

なんて説明すればいいかなあ？ (How should I explain this?)

This is an umbrella, this is like the stick.

If you have it straight up the air gets caught underneath umbrella,

it pulls it up. It's really annoying! Like...

like that. So you have to make the umbrella

Otherwise it just get blown away. It's really, really tiring!

But back then I used to be a pitcher in my baseball club, and I was pretty strong.

My arms were like this big and I got this much muscle...

I think it was relatively stronger than other people...

I guess? I could throw a softball farther than 100 meters.

One time when I was riding on a path in rice paddy again

struggling to find the best angle to make the air gets over the umbrella...

But unfortunately, the umbrella wasn't strong enough

and then his body snapped in half, and...

I didn't know what happened for a couple seconds, but...

the umbrella was just not strong enough, and I laughed so hard.

And I didn't know that I was bleeding, my forehead was bleeding.

But since it was really windy and rainy I didn't really know.

we had a teachers that make the students greet to them.

Or like make... correct the students uniforms and stuff.

And there was a teacher who was really...

mean, and kinda scary. Well, I mean his... his face was really scary.

And he was always yelling, and not very many people liked him.

He was just mean. When I get to school, at the gate

this teacher stare at me and come to me and yell at me

kind of like screaming saying that, "What the fuck...

Did you get in a car accident or something?!"

we got like everyone's attention around us, everyone was staring at us. And...

Did you get in a car accident when you were in high school?"

anyway, he made me realize I was bleeding

So I thanked him and I went to 保健室.
