Teaching in Ehime, Japan

Having just arrived on in the Japanese state of Ehime on the island of Shikoku, I can see that things are very different here than in the U.S. I have however, seen other U.S. citizens here, as Ehime is the most popular tourist destination in Japan. I look forward to meeting my Junior High school students in Masaki, though I also look forward to taking a trip to Dogo-Onsen, which is the nations oldest hot spring resort.

The school lunches here are interesting; I enjoy a wide range of foods, so I look forward to tasting some of the things that look tasty like, beef and carrot stew or the "devil's tongue" tree root. My students uenjoy eating with me.
