Thank you Demonoid. I get to watch right from day 2 of the Osaka Tournament, the March Basho or Sumo tournament. I loves me some Sumo. The place is packed, English coverage and the big boys causing tsunamis every time the clash. Life is good in the Cave.
I caught the bug while teaching the grade 7 unit of Japan. We were connected with a classroom in Japan and while our kids talked about hockey and curling their kids were all into Sumo wrestling. It's an ancient sport based on speed, strength and tradition.
I probably know more Japanese words related to that sport than anything else. Won't help me stranded in the country but I am sure I could find my way to the training stable and then the wrestlers would help me. They are noble and kind. 13 sweet days to go.
