My wife tells me that the pear season is coming to an end. That makes me feel sad because I love Asian pears. I like the pears that are grown in the U.S. and Europe, too, but I prefer Asian pears because they are crisp as well as juicy! However, I have been doing a lot of traveling around Aichi Prefecture recently. I have to go to kindergartens, day care centers and elementary schools to watch my students teach. Everywhere I go, I see orange persimmons on trees. It may be the end of the pear season, but I am happy that we are still in the middle of the persimmon season. (by Prof. Doulgas Jarrell)
