Well, it’s November and that means time for a month full of street festivals. According to sources, Gate 2 Street will be closed to traffic most of this weekend for the Kokusai Carnival. This will be a two day event that is supposed to begin at 9 a.m. on Saturday, Nov. 4, and around noon on Sunday, Nov. 5, and ending around 10 p.m. each night. I’ve also been told that B.C. Street (Chou Park Avenue) will be joining in on the activities this year (once again according to sources). Check with your island activities provider for further information.

For the longest time I thought having a green thumb just wasn’t one of the items that were being passed around when it came to my percentages …that’s before we found these little guys had decided our garden was extremely tasty.
