Welcome to Japan!

Welcome to Japan!

日本へようこそ！

Konnichiwa! This is Sensei. I've been back in Japan for the summer break. I was in my hometown Kobe, visiting my parents. I had lots of oishii homemade foods everyday. I was willing to loose some weights while in Japan, but I guess I have to postpone my plan a little bit. I love Japanese foods here. It's different from the ones at Japantown, SF. I had Ramen for lunch in Tokyo. Oishikatta!

Tomorrow, I am going to welcome 11 students and one chaperone from George Washington High School. This is my third trip with Washington students. This year's highlight is to visit our sister school in Miyazaki. They always come visit us in November, but we've never been there so we decided to visit Miyakonojo-Nishi HS in Miyazaki. Students will stay at their host family's house and visit the school. It will be nice to experience Japanese home & school life. Oh, we have another school to visit this year. All my students had a pen-pal project with Tsuru High School throughout the last school year. We are also going to visit their school, which is located near Mt. Fuji. Hope the weather will get better so we can see the beautiful mountain. Japan is in the middle of thetsuyu (rainy) season now. Tsuyu brings lots of humidity and rain. Not so comfortable, especially if you get used to the weather in San Francisco.

During the trip, all of us take a turn to report our trip to you! We appreciate your comments also. Check this blog everyday and see how we are doing.
