... how we felt participating in the exercise. We made a paper chain after we all wrote down one way that we hope to change our actions when it come to being more acceptive of diversity when we get back home. I met up with Caroline in our physics classroom to finish studying for my physics for mariners test. By the end of the night I felt like a weatherwoman since our test tomorrow is on climate and weather.

... our baggage and walked back towards the train station to find something for lunch. After walking through the Shin-Yokohama station shopping centre, which is dominated by an 8 story "BIC Camera" camera and electronic megastore, we looked through the restaurants on the top floor. The menus looked great. The prices didn't. It seemed that $30 was the entry level for lunch at these places, so needless to say we moved on. We ...

... kids were very energetic about it:) I had a lot of fun. I had extra time so I gathered the kids together and named 5 or 6 items and then asked them to remember it and get all of them. They dashed towards the table knocking over a lot of the pictures on the floor. I love how enthusiastic kids get. We all had a good laugh together. Chris also did a game with the older kids where each kid gets a set of 4 cards. So each kid get 4 pencils ...

... en vrouwen. Een aantal oud-werkgevers/oud-opdrachtgevers zouden hun medewerkers op excursie naar Tokyo moeten sturen om de `kunst van de werkkleding` af te kijken. 4. Opvallend waren verder de -EERSTE- twee (blonde) toeristen die we tegenkwamen. 5. De snelwegen hier lopen door de stad. Op veel alvalt dat door de stad gaat is met pijlers een extra wegdek gebouwd dat dient als snelweg door de stad. 6. Het is in de gebouwen in Tokyo zo warm dat ik ...

... years. Most of the crowd did not care to sit. We were happy to hand around on the fringes of the gym and lean against the wall. Amid the cacophony of the wild infants, the ceremony began. The current principal began speaking. No one really cared to listen. This was a great moment of revenge. At assemblies which were typically held on Monday mornings, we were always told to form a line for each homeroom and ...

... That nasal Australian twang seemed an echo of the function at the Embassy. We chatted a bit. After leaving his job in the IT, Chris arrived in Japan three months ago. He is now working part-time at Nova and working as a free-lance teacher. We happened to get off at the same train station. He seemed to be looking for a language exchange partner. It would be good for me to keep up with my English as much as him to learn Japanese. We again swapped our cards and made sure to get in touch again.

... day in work anyone could ever have. I believe Sarah never made it through the whole day and had to go home LOL. After Easter we had a 2 farewell dinners. One at Monsoons, nice food the service I would rather forget. Let's just say I'll never go there again. The second one at the Indian in Centre Kita. That night we all went on the Ferris Wheel and went to the arcade beside the restaurant and had a laugh getting puri colour ...

... CREATED THE ART FORM TO BEGIN WITH!! I understand there is a cultural difference... but I know my lady theater friends, and they always end up wearing costumes twice as heavy as mine (Hello?!? Hoop-skirts!!). They could rock a fancy Kimono and kill a pose in a heart beat!!! Point being: It just seems that women should be included... that's all I'm saying. Alrighty... off of my soap-box. After Kabuki, I took a walk down a cool shopping district. Very 5th Avenue. And ...

... on a vending machine (I stayed in a hotel where the rooms consist of a 1960's idea of a space-age looking pod, which was interesting but not particularly exciting). The city I found to be slightly sterile too and not particularly dynamic. For example, the Golden Gai area that inspired Bladerunner (I was led to believe I would be witnessing traditional tiny bars serving little more than 2 or so people at a time crammed into narrow streets, lit up by ...

... out for another pair and the same thing happened with another sales assistant! And then the next time! It was getting very annoying by this point! Plus there was a scary amount of sales assistants for a very tiny stall! Eventually, a customer who spoke a bit of English came to translate and told me that I was only allowed to try on 2 items at a time and I told her that that was what I was doing. So she said no, I had to exit and queue up again each time because of other ...
