Last week I was afforded the opportunity to join a Japanese cooking class. These classes are held once or twice a month. Pretty much, whenever Kumiko, the teacher is available. For a minimal fee, you are taught how to make some pretty basic Japanese food. During this lesson, we learned how to make sushi! We… Continue reading Japanese cooking class [1]
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
I’ve given my introduction many, many, many, many, many, many, many times I’ve given this introduction to both senior high school students and seniors lol. 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]
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?! [Episode 4]
Yesterday was my first day of school and work. Here is an account of my day. 5:30 Wake up. Devotion. 7:30 Waiting outside near the bike farm. Meeting a coworker to ride to work together. 8:00 Arrive at school. Park bike near an even bigger bike farm. Enter building and take off outside shoes. Put… Continue reading First day of School: 2nd term 2016
いただきます！/itadakimasu/ Let’s eat On the second episode of “You ate what?!” I thought we’d visit primary colors. Blue food reminds me of Violet from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Maybe a slice of her finger. Too grotesque? My bad. Can you guess what it is? Think about all the blue/purple foods you know. I think… Continue reading You ate what?! [Episode 2]
Please forgive the tense of this post. Many of these things happened days ago but some are still happening. I go in and out of present and past tense quite a bit. Day 1: Provision and Kindness (28 08 22) Kindness is best when taken with everything! I would like to thank Krystal, the… Continue reading Landed in Japan
