Class Farewell
02.13.09 | Permalink | 2 CommentsMy homeroom had a class farewell for me on the day before I left Japan. It was on Saturday, after their half day of school.
I went in to see the board all decorated with my name etc, and food everywhere.
I went in mufti because my uniform was at dry-cleaning. After a few short introductions from [...] -

Last Day of School in Japan
It has finally come and gone. I’m glad it is over in some ways, because the whole farewell thing in Japan has been pretty dragged out (as it is when you leave a country).
I went in to school at 11.55am, as they had tests beforehand. My timing was perfect as always, allowing for 3 minutes [...] -

More Karaoke and Fun
Today was the last time that all of the AFS students from Miyazaki got together. I biked into the city to meet Andrea at about 10am, and we then caught the bus to Aeon (the mall). We picked up some bits and bobs (mainly bits) and then went back to the station to meet Mitchell at [...]

Ligers & Handstanding Elephants
I went to the Kinoshita Circus on Monday, where I saw all manner of things.
We originally went to go in at 11am, but it was sold out (on a weekday). So we brought tickets for around $50 a head, and decided to go to the 1:30pm show.
To fill time, we headed to Aeon and I [...] -

Farewell Speech
01.23.09 | Permalink | 3 CommentsGiven two days warning, I was told that I had to give a speech at the school assembly in the gym this Thursday.
I took advantage of the time that I have in Maths and Japanese class to write it, as it had to be from five minutes to ten minutes. I normally don’t get really [...] -

Last AFS Meeting & Karaoke
We had our last AFS meeting on Saturday, speeches and all. I couldn’t really be bothered getting my act together in time to write a speech, so I scribbled down a few ideas in the car.
I ended up reading my speech, partly because I didn’t want to forget anything, and partly because I didn’t want [...]
