Pumba at Hirono JHS

So I'm in the teacher's room, minding my own business, when the secretary runs into the room, starts yelling something in Japanese, and all the teachers run out.  Naturally, I followed them because they never tell me anything and for all I knew the building could have been on fire.  But instead I see two wild boar ambling across the parking lot in front of the school!!  Big, scary inoshishi!  The teachers were speaking lightening fast Nihongo and taking pictures.  I guess it's really rare to see them, especially this big, and even more so in town.  I have no clue how they would even get to the middle school!  Seeing how we are top of a hill and you have to take stairs to get to the front entrance.  But they seemed to handle stairs fine because that's the way they left.


It must have also been the way they came back because everyone rushed out again during lunch time to stare and point.  At first I was astonished because I've never seen a wild boar before.  But after hearing that they are quite dangerous and realizing their chosen spot to hang out was my path home, I didn't think they were so fascinating anymore.  I ended up having to walk the long way home in the freezing sleet.  Soaking my uggs, breaking another umbrella, and further ruining my mood.
