After an amazing, unforgettable year in Japan I dragged a way too heavy bag on wheels through Europe for more fantastic adventures. 5 years later I am off on a 9 week tour of SE Asia.

MiyukiThey call her 'baby sumo'. She thinks its funny to copy everything I do- and repeat everything I say. She also likes to give eskimo kisses- rubbing noses and has the most infectious laugh.
MisakiMisaki speaks excellent English, she likes to tell me something every morning- "On the weekend we are going to the snow" or "I have a new towel".
YutaA rare beaming smile from this solemn little soul.
Kazusato and HiroakiKazusato translates to 'home of wind'- hehhehe. These are two of my tuition kids, they are hilarious, full of personality and spark.
Miyuki and HitomiThey were just playing around on the carpet making letters- this one is T!
SetsubunIn February it is believed the ogres come to take away the bad children, at MEK we made ogre maskes and the teachers threw peanuts 'at' the ogres to get rid of them!
Ahh Ogre!!The kids got to keep the peanuts once theyd collected them. I think they ate them, but its also believed if you sprinkle beans around your house it will be protected from the bad spirits.
Blonde Panda Its so lovely to see the children so full of life and sparkle. You will miss them , but at least you have lovely photos to remember them by. Computor had a spring clean by a nice boy called Thorsten lives in FF so now much faster and more reliable but internet still dicey.
Haru's Hair?! Who dyed Haru's hair! Poor kid. We have that in the states too, little 6 year olds dressed up like poster kids from magazines. They must care so much about fashion because of their gorgeous and stylish teacher right? The one that can simultaneously cause Kangaroo roadkill and drink Sapporo while driving?
