Japan from My Eyes

I went to a cooking class! Today we made a bento! Salad, fried chicken, omelet, tofu mixed with spinach and carrots, rice balls (one with tuna, carrots, and mushrooms and the other with peas), “nikujaga,” and  pudding! It was really good!

料理教室に入りました!今日はお弁当です!サラダ、唐揚げチキン、出し巻き卵、白和え、炊き込みごはん、豆ごはん、肉じゃが、とプリンです!とっても美味しかったよ〜

a student lent me a book and every time he sees me, he asks about my progress
TT:  Did you read the book?
Me:  Uhh...no, I've been busy...
TT:  You don't read at home?
Me:  Sometimes, but like I said, I was busy!
TT:  Well, you can borrow it for as long as you like! But please give it back while I'm still in junior high school. I don't know when we can meet after I graduate!
Me:  Okay! Thanks~

笑い過ぎた (^◇^;) I laughed way too hard about this.

Fortunately, many of my students have overcome this but many Japanese people will say their name at seemingly rapid fire speed that is incomprehensible. I saw this at Lawson and burst out laughing. Then I bought it. I’m ready to be entertained.
It’s called “Strange Japanese People’s English” and so far, it’s awesome.

生徒から貸してくれた本(^ν^)面白いだって言われた。A book that a student lent me. I was told it was interesting! “The Unforgettable Cat Osan”

First, my student asked me if I liked reading. I told him yes, and he asked if I could read Japanese books. I hesitantly said yes and then he brought me this one. He told me that I could borrow it for as long as I wanted, because he has lots of books at home. :) What a sweetheart.

Arts and crafts with 5th and 6th grade. We used special paper, folded it in some complicated fashion, and dipped it in paint.
