My Three Sons (schools) Photos
| The kitchen area at Higashi. A small fridge on the right, a sink, across the way is where we separate all the trash into 1500 different containers. Burnables, plastics, paper, food, cans, things that start with "J", things made on a Tuesday. Then again they have less land fills than we do. | The teacher's room at Higashi. My desk is off to the left. All the teachers have a desk in this office area and go to each class. The students don't move. Salespeople frequently walk through passing out little gifts with their logo on them. If I am at my desk I get skipped, but if not they leave it there. I always act like I can read it and thank them. | |
| On loan from the Guiness Book of World records, are the three slowest computers and the world's slowest internet connection. These three 4Mhz computers with 2K RAM each share a 150 baud connection. It takes 18 minutes to upload a 10K picture. | The quaint little Hobara Train station. It's separate from the main Japan Railways system, owned by a private company. So the train and station are small and only a few trains a day. It's a 27 minute ride from my station to here. | |
| The office at Hobara. My desk is in the bottom right corner beside Ms. Matsumoto. She's walking past it. Maybe she's thinking "where is Ryan Sensei?" | A sample of my walk to Hobara High. I ride the train with several students and usually walk with them or near them. I tend to walk faster than them. | |
| Left side of the Higashi school field. Football isn't a sport here so they all share a field. It's huge, and there is no grass. They don't know why. | Right side of the same field. There is a track that runs all the way around it. I should probably walk around it sometime. | |
| The students genkan. Pretty similar to the teachers but it's much bigger. | ||
