Spring Break

I've finished at both elementary schools now. I will start working in two junior high schools, early April. These pictures are from my last day at Edogawa:
The cutest and nicest kid, but his hands were always dirty and he would never let go of me! Look closely, you can see the mischief in his eyes.
Satomi. I could always remember her name, because my girlfriend had a dog named Satomi when we lived in Chicago. I didn't tell her that, though.
I could write a lot about Japanese dodgeball, but not this time.

This is how I got around after the initial hell-fever attack. I've been back to the doctor and I'm not wearing the masks anymore. When I first got here and saw people wearing these masks all the time, it kinda freaked me out. But I have to admit, when I'm riding a crowded train, I like the sense of protection it gives me from the germs around me. If you've ever had a sick person cough on you, you'll understand. It also provides some protection from those with the lethal combination of cigarette/coffee/sushi breath.

I love that comment about satomi! I'm sure our sweet pea appreciates it. She misses u. Kisses from satomi =).

My name is Sammie, I am a half-Japanese American. I moved to Japan to know my family and our history, learn the language and understand the culture. These are the records of my experiences living in Tokyo. Check the archives for posts from previous months, click any photo for a larger view.
