Cherry Blossoms in Bujo Park

The cherry blossoms have finally bloomed and I went to my favorite place: Bujo Park. It was really cold, but still fun!

Buddhism History

Buddhism History

Buddhism began in India about 2,500 years ago. It spread throughout Asia, eventually influencing most of the continent. The religion's teachings focus on understanding suffering, and the way to achieve peace and harmony.

The religion spread eastward into China, Japan, Vietnam, etc. via the trade routes used between various countries in both Europe and Asia. It reached Japan around the 6th century, and is today the prevalent religion in the country (along with Shinto), and it has adapted to the local culture and beliefs.

Mouse Trap

Another popular American board game for children is called Mouse Trap. In the game, you build pieces one-by-one to make a very complicated mousetrap. The mousetrap ends up being a kind of "Rube Goldberg machine." (If you don't know what that is, Google defines it as "a complex machine that performs a simple task in an indirect and complicated way, named after cartoonist and inventor Rube Goldberg.") Then you try to catch your friends' mice in the trap, while keeping your own mouse safe.



It's a very silly and fun game to play, and maybe it helps children learn some engineering or physics?
Have you played this game before?
