Now on to this month's 12 on 12. I hope you enjoy.
I attend English Speaking Society (English Club) every Tuesday and Friday after school (4pm - 5pm). We listen to American music (oldies), we talk in English (most of the time) and I have been introducing the club members to some American snacks. This Tuesday I brought in the makings for Root Beer Floats. They seemed to enjoy them. Other snacks I have brought in are chips & salsa, brownies, peanut butter cookies, etc.
Erika enjoyed it much more that the other members.
This was a treat given to me by one of the 2nd grade English teachers. It is the face of a raccoon. It had sweet bean paste inside of it.
Back in December at Shogai (the adult university I teach at on Wed afternoons), one of my classes had a birthday celebration for me. One of the ladies spelled my name with a sting of beads. how cool is that.
This was my place setting for the birthday celebration. They lit the 3 tall skinny red candles and sang Happy Birthday to me.
One day while riding around downtown, Mitch stopped by these 2 fish and asked that I take his and the kids picture. Just like any downtown, there are plenty of statues to take pictures of. Maybe that will be next month's 12 on 12...
This is a different fish and I got this idea from other English teachers here in Himeji. Isn't it cool how the fish "frames" the castle. There are more of these fish on the ends of the roofs on the castle. I have no idea what kind of fish they are.
At the community center party in January they had out many different Japanese snacks. This was one of them. I took this picture to see if any of you would eat a cream sand biscuit. Actually it wasn't all that bad. It was really a cream sandwich cookie.
This was another treat that was bestowed upon me by one of the 2nd grade English teachers. It was suppose to be sweet, but I found it to be very chalky in taste. I have no idea what it says but I just think that kanji (Chinese writing) is so pretty. Well, at least when I don't attempt to write it.
During the summer months, students carry about a thin sheet of plastic and use it as a fan to cool themselves. Many of them are decorated. I found this one in my classroom and had to share it with all of you back home. Remember you can click on the image to make it bigger. Can you imagine eating something that was Very Wonderfully and more Pleasantly.
While we were riding around downtown, I stopped to take a picture of the tourist information office building. Why you ask.....
If you look closely at the English translation, you will notice that you can drain your colostomy bag here.
I hope you enjoyed this month's version of 12 on 12. Please let me know if you would like to see something specific as I can take requests. Have a great day!
