This old margarine bucket looked handy, so I decided to recycle it instead of throwing it away. My kids helped me make the chicken design on the front.

Pronunciation:
- Be careful: a 'soft' G sound in some English words is translated as a 'hard' G sound in Japanese:
margarine 英語で: マージャリーン (not マーガリン )
allergy 英語で: アラジー (not アレルギー )
Belgium 英語で: ベルジム (not ベルギー )
collagen 英語で: コラジン　(not コラーゲン)

I made a fish-viewing box from a sheet of clear perspex (クリアアクリル), which I bought at a hardware store (about ¥200 for A3 size). To bend it, I used a blow torch. Next I used a glue gun to attach the side pieces. Finally I tested it using my pet loach (どじょう ).

I`m looking forward to using it with tropical fish when I visit Miyakojima. Please check my blog next week to see what I caught!
