On Wednesday night Andrea arrived in Japan, and then yesterday her and Marla came to school with me. We had two ichi nen sei classes with Kakio sensei, so it was a pretty good day. All the kids were really excited to have so many foreigners, and it was good because the lesson was “Hello, my name is…” They also got to meet some of the more interesting/cute students, like brown hair (her hair is brown, not black), handsome macho Ken (he introduced himself as that), and baby monkey (she looks like a baby monkey). Marla and Andrea seemed to enjoy themselves, and the kids had a lot of fun, partly because we played more games than usual, which meant more stitch stickers. Sorry there are no pictures though, no one thought to take any.

Why have you been apologizing so much in your last few posts? I know you’re Canadian and all but I’m sure your readers will understand that you are busy living it up in Japan and may not have time to write everyday!
That said, I do enjoy reading your blog, so keep it up when you have the time
cheers!

Busy-shmisy…just keep writing. It sucks checking all the time and seeing nothing new. We like to know what your up to.

Touch base with me sometime. I lived for a year in Asago (maybe in the same house as you, right next to the river) in 90-91 and taught at Asago Chugakko.
