1. My picture was in the Ibaraki local newspaper this morning! A
reporter came to the elementary school and interviewed a few of us. He
took a picture of my eating lunch with the students in their room
(another teacher too!) and asked a few questions. Turns out he chose
our interview and picture! I have a copy of the paper I am bringing
home for all to see!
2. I got to try my hand at the koto, and Japanese stringed instrument
you play with finger picks while sitting down. Amazing.
That's all for now!
