I remember Children's Day. There were carp streamers above the jungle gym at my kindergarten and I didn't know what they were about, and the explanation I got was apparently in Japanese because I couldn't remember it after I returned to America and forgot my Japanese. (At four, I was child-fluent in both languages but couldn't translate between them, so conversations in one were 'inaccessible' in the other.) Didn't figure out what the streamers were for again till I was an adult.
