FRIDAY FRIDAY FIRDAY!!
Contrary to popular belief, the Friday came and I couldn't be more excited.
Ok those beginng lines are starting to get kinda lame huh?
Well anyway Friday is here and that means it's teh WEEKEND!! Which is even cooler this Friday since its a three day weekend, Originally a bunch of us Kyoto City Jets were supposed to go and explore Osaka. Osaka is known for its culrutre and the beautiful natural setting... yeah right!! I think it's considered the party capital in japan. Anyway the three day weekend was gonna be filled with outlet malls, crazy nightlife, really good ribs and even an amusement park! I think that sounds fun but the trip was slightly changed due to some conflicts in interests. Originally we were gonna stay in Osaka (get hotel rooms) and explore the city. But as we started to discuss the topic in greater detail everyone started to go off in their own ways. Not necissarily a bad thing but now there is one destination but like 20 things to do.
We ended up canceling the trip and everyoen going their own ways. My friend Elisa's cousins were coming into Kyoto so shes gonna stay back and take them around KLyotot. My other friend Helen really wanted to go visit the out skirts of the kansai area. LIke visiting Kobe and maybe even Hemeji. So what are Krystal and I to do? i guess we'll find something to do. We haven't really visited the numerous shrines and temples in Kyoto so we can always do that. They also reccomend airing out your futon every once in a while. I guess we can do that... not really dissapointed as one may think.
As for school I had third graders today. Not bad at all. they are very enthusiastic to learn and speak English. I guess that's what makes this job fun. Not to mention the good pay.
Anyway I biked down again and found that the weather may be gettig alittle cooler than it has been. The morning seems colder and crisp like. Very similar to California in the spring. But in the afternoon if feels like home. Todays lunch was pretty good too, we had this potato beef thing kinda like a stew with rice and seaweed (konbu). I think it is teh best lunch I've had here in the Japan school Sysytem. That's actually Krystal and my daily conversation what did you have for lunch. I wouild have to say that the students here are a lot more independant than back at home. Did you know that very class has lunch on their classroom with their teacher.? The more amazing part of it is that the students are the ones who go to the kitchen and pick up food as well as serve for their fellow classmates in their room. Its also fairly clean, I haven't seen one spill or accident in any of the school sI've been in. There is no way that the kids back home can do that. Not even the sixth graders, I would say that the earliest grade to test this system in the US would be 8th. Even then I have a feeling that some classes are not gonna eat lunch or be totally fooling around.
Other than taht wish us good luck in ouyr endeavors for the three day weekend? Should I come home for the weekend? Or maybe just go visit someone?
BREAK IT DOWN!!!
