It seems that every Monday morning brings the rain. It's not even officially rainy season! Well at least the frogs were happy:)
After our usual jumping, leaping, singing about ducks, Anpanman and Doraemon and the much-anticipated senbei feast, we had a really interesting "eikaiwa" topic. It is a topic that is truly unique to Japan. What is your blood type? And do you believe that blood types can influence or indeed dictate characteristics in a person. Here are our "findings".....
Yukako, Kazumi, Riae and Yolande are all blood group B. People with this blood type are meant to be "my pace" kind of people. Thats is to say a little self-centred and they often like to be alone. On the plus side they are also extremely well motivated and will try hard all the time to achieve their goal.
Yumino and Ai and blood group O which supposedly implies "ozappa", details are not important to this group. They are an outgoing and friendly bunch and very adaptable, helpful and passionate people.
Reiko was our only AO type which should also mean that she is "ozappa" but extremely sensitive, details are important to this group.
I though this was a really fun topic until we really delved deeper - it just got better and better! Do our Playgroup Mums ACTUALLY believe in the theory that character types can be predicted by knowing someone's blood type? Some do believe. Some don't.
I'm sure you all know the famous women's magazine "Anna or Hanako". What you probably didn't know is that 1. Yukako used to work here and 2. the workplace is divided up according to Blood types!! In other words, you will not find any bloody typeO on the editting team as they are not attentive to details!
Also, relationships can be "perfect blood matches" or out and out disasters. B & O is a good match (like Yukako & Mr. Satou). A & O is OK, an A woman & O man is an OK match while an A man & O woman is said to be make the perfect couple (like Reiko and Hiroo!).
Anyway, I'll email you all the article that I saw on the BBC website. It really does make for an interesting read:)
I hope Fumiko chan is OK after her tumble this morning..... we missed your cool dancing!
See you all next week and please please please, BRING THE SUNSHINE!
