Week 1 Pictures

At the airport with my folks


Okonomiyaki dinner with Ben-kun and Kevin-kun from Japanese class in Roppongi


The last time i'm seeing Chris for a while (*hand stretched out* "Nacchan!!")


The welcoming committee at Tsushima Airport: Hosa from my Board of Education, my superivsor (Matsushima-san), me, Alicia, some guy from Alicia's BOE (?), and Alicia's supervisor (Sago-san, who i think looks like a japanese Dustin Hoffman...)


One of the many cockroaches that chose the wrong house to invade


The first Tsushima ALT get-together: me, Sylvia (Canadian and 2nd year), Aaron (2nd year), Oliver (from Ireland and a 1st year), Alicia (1st year), David (1st year), Patrick (former ALT but loved Tsushima so much that he came back and is now in his 13th year here teaching privately), and Rob (1st year). All 5 of us newbies are in this picture, but there's 2 other 2nd years who didn't make it to this event.

When i find out what this is and where i was, i'll write it down here. Pretty though, no? ;D

OMG, he totally DOES look like a Japanese Dustin Hoffman. Freaky.

And lastly, Patrick (the loved-it-so-much-I-stayed guy) looks like a male version of Debbie in that picture, doesn't he? And that's something that Debbie would do. haha. I wonder if they're related...hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm....
