Last night of training!

Last night of training and it was a blast! After a long week and a hard day’s work and a final lesson, we all went out to a traditional style Japanese restaurant with our students! We sat on Tatami mats at a big table in our own room upstairs. We played drinking games… Courtney kara hajimaru izumuni awasete. Starting from Courtney keep the rhythm going. How fun!

Me & Akemi


Naoe, Joy, Yoshie & Me!


Mr. Onishi, the coolest old man ever! Ever played drinking games with a 70 year old man? His joke: Why was 6 scared of 7????? Because 789! (seven ate nine! Haha)


Then us English speakers went out to Karaoke!!!!
Me, Joy, Helen


Rock on!


Jim getting into it!


Helen & Tim!


Apparently room surfing is a ton of fun at Karaoke. So, these are some Japanese business men that joined us. They work for Fuji and I spoke tons of Japanese to them…my head hurt! It’s so hard to think in one language and speak in another







Then, walked back home. But first made a phone call and I was all sad, missing home. But to top it all off…. A bird pooped on my arm! Gross!
