A random temple very near my apt.

Today, I went out with some students and I was trying to explain how I thought the TV here seemed educational. Because I was randomly on some channel.... and they were showing 6.02 x 10^23. And of course talking in Japanese. And I was like.... hey isn't that Avogadro's number? And the TV was trying to explain it or something. So I tried to say with my limited Japanese.....and even with the other ex-teacher's help..... nobody understand. Mostly cuz they don't call it Avogadro's number in Japanese....it's some long string of kanji instead. It was sort of amusing tho that we were on this subject.....in some izakaya. And them getting confused with Avocados. They were like..... what does Avocados have to do with Carbon 12 and how many molecules of that in 12 g. lol......
