Last year, I had an opportunity to work in a nursery in England. I had been there about 3 months and I had an absolutely wonderful time. All the children were so sweet and affable. This summer holiday, I went back to England to see my friends. I wondered if I could pop in to the nursery but it had been a while since I left. I didn’t think the children remembered me. One day, in a supermarket, a little boy came around and shouted “Annie!” That is what I was called in the nursery. I was very surprised that he still remembered me. How lovely!

A few fans waited outside for days, and there were long lines in front of stores around the world in Tokyo, New York, and London. Then, on September 20, the new iPhone 5c and 5s went on sale. Some customers were disappointed because there weren’t enough phones. They will have to wait for days or even a few weeks to get the one they want. Fans who cannot wait can go to online auctions, but those phones are really expensive. One seller wanted over 200,000 yen for a gold iPhone 5s! I wonder if anyone will buy it at that price.
