Yesterday I took a “semi” official tour of Aioi. To be completely honest I wouldn’t really call it a “tour” except that I searched and searched for an appropriate title for this post and found nothing that could perfectly relate my feels. “Tour” will just have to do. Tangent. I thank my mom and her mother… Continue reading Tour of Aioi
Today was a great day. Two students from our Community English classes volunteered to give us a tour of Himeji Castle. This was, by far, the most thorough tour that I’ve ever been given, of any thing. They were both very knowledgeable, with tidbits and videos and handmade posters that explained the history of the… Continue reading Touring Himeji Castle
Can we take a moment to talk about all the cleaning I did yesterday? At my highschool, there are two desks and two cabinets dedicated to ASE’s (Assistant Supervisors of English). Which means that I have a desk and cabinet and the other ASE from Austrailia has a desk and cabinet. When I tell you… Continue reading Purge 2016
いただきます！/itadakimasu/ Let’s eat On the eighth episode of “You ate what?!” we visit a cafe here in Himeji. I’d never heard of this cafe prior to yesterday’s visit. Chelli san mentioned it. And while I am absolutely the trillest, most hardest rapper that ever kilt (killed) the game, I like all the frilly stuff too.… Continue reading You ate what?! [Episode 8]
Every Thursday myself and another teacher host English Club. Its an opportunity for students who are interested in learning English to come and do fun activities. In the past they’ve made tacos, done games based off Korean t.v. shows, scavenger hunts and the like. Students chose all the events based on their likes and things… Continue reading English Club

Two of the classes that I teach are at the University. Those classes are jammed packed with adults of all ages, mostly seniors and retirees. In my introduction, I show… Continue reading Student art
いただきます！/itadakimasu/ Let’s eat On the sixth episode of “You ate what?!” we visit sushi! Real sushi! Ok, I feel like I need to explain that last part. When I say real sushi, its not a commentary on the difference between sushi in Japan and sushi in the U.S.. What I mean to say is, I’m used… Continue reading You ate what?! [Episode 6]
One of my new favorite things about Japan is the rain! After 6 years of living in the desert, you grow fond of inclemet weather and even look forward to it. When I started out this morning, rain jacket on, hood up, pedaling toward my school, it was sprinkling. But the closer I got to… Continue reading Rainy days
いただきます！/itadakimasu/ Let’s eat On the fifth episode of “You ate what?!” we revisit Japanese pickled foods! This one is my new favorite! This week I have been introducing myself to all 8 of my English classes. In my presentation I talk, briefly, about my love for peanut butter. I then allow students to talk to… Continue reading You ate what?! [Episode 5]
いただきます！/itadakimasu/ Let’s eat On the fourth episode of “You ate what?!” we visit a traditional Japanese breakfast food. As you can probably guess, I enjoy fermented and pickled foods. Gotta love that Bacillus subtilis! Aka good gut bacteria that help with…well, your gut. This particular food gets one of two reactions. Either you enjoy it or… Continue reading You ate what?!
