Fun in the sun? Not in a suit... I'm seriously considering moving to Hokkaido for the summer. Tokyo is like a giant convection oven in the summer season, a humid hell. For now the weather is pleasant, but my instincts are telling me to plan ahead for the heat. Air conditioning in Tokyo works wonders to cool indoor spaces, but its exhaust only adds to the misery outdoors.
Working in the junior high schools has been interesting, but not as entertaining as working in the elementary schools. The students are warming up to me now and I am also feeling more comfortable with my position in the schools. It is a strange feeling wearing the shoes of a public school teacher, especially when I think about what I was up to at their ages.
I'm shooting for a mid July trip home and I'm really looking forward to seeing my family and friends again.

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.
