Suisan Koukou

Just a little R&R at school for the kids before the heat is on for exams. Watching a movie in the gym. Hadn't see that kind of movie equipment out of a cinema before... isn't that a bit old for technically advanced Japan? hmm

2 Queens of Suisan Koko, Minani-sensei (left) and Mami (affectionately). Admiring the beauty of flowers brought in I guess to signal the end of winter. Minami-sensei takes care of alot of the plants in the office, taught me a bit too! 2 really cool people.

Joining Mizoguchi sensei (good friend and the English teacher I co-teach with most at school) for one of her 3rd year classes. The graduate this February so although I don't teach them I had to give them a final visit (it was actually my first time to that class).

Some first year girls (15 years old) taking care of the flower beds in front the school. The girl to the left never lets me take pictures of her, I've tried in class before but always got her just as the book or curtain hid her face. As u can see I was successful this time. Not so lucky with the one on the right though.

Miscellaneous

Just some pics I forgot from stuff before...
