Ojika Experience

I've started a website for the cultural experience business I'm starting on Ojika island in Japan.

Check it out!  It has a blog component where I will be posting on Ojika related topics!

日食 SOLAR ECLIPSE

Wednesday (水曜日) there will be a SOLAR ECLIPSE (日食) in Japan.

Here in Ojika, the moon will not fully cover the sun. The sun will be 90-95% covered by the moon during the peak at about 10:50 am.
If the sky is clear, we will be able to see an amazing event! If it is cloudy, it will just seem like it is becoming night again!

Just remember, don't look directly at the sun!

Summer break is here!

A lot has happened since the last post!

The American PTP students came, and the American PTP students went home! It was a very busy time but very fun too! Did you see any of them around Ojika? Did you practice your English with them?

Tomorrow, summer vacation begins for the students of Ojika! What will you do during summer vacation? Will you go swimming, read books, study, play sports, travel, or just relax?

Whatever you do, have a great time!

THE FLU!!!

Wow! Hokusho Nishi High School has been hit hard by the flu. Today, 35 students are home sick. That is more than 1/3 of the school! So far, only 1 teacher has gotten sick.

Classes were cancelled yesterday to give students a chance to recover, and last Friday's picnic was cancelled also. Many club activities have not practiced for several days.

Take care everyone!

Welcome Back!!

This week, the new school year starts!

How was your spring vacation? 春休みはどう？

Too short?　短いすぎる？

It's time to return to classes, so let's have a good time together and enjoy the new school year!

Spring Vacation

Today is the last day before the two week spring vacation! Since tomorrow is also the first day of Spring, here is a simple English poem for you...

I Meant To Do My Work Today

by Richard Le Gallienne

I meant to do my work today,

But a brown bird sang in the apple tree,

And a butterfly flitted across the field,

And all the leaves were calling me.

And the wind went sighing over the land,

Tossing the grasses to and fro,

And a rainbow held out its shining hand--

So what could I do but laugh and go?
