A Voyage to Lilliput
Perhaps you've noticed that I've never posted any photos of myself teaching on here. That's because I'm too busy teaching to photograph myself, idiot. Anyhow, many of you will recall that I traveled to a local day-care center a few weeks ago to take part in their mochi tsuki ceremony. Okubo-San accompanied me that day and she took a few snapshots of me playing with the children. Well, she presented me with copies of the photos the other day, so I've decided to post some of the best ones here. While I didn't really teach any sort of structured lesson that day, these pictures should give you some idea of what I normally do at the kindergarten. It's funny, until I saw these photos, I had no idea how almost Gulliver-like I look amongst small children.

These are really hilarious and cute, especially the first one. By the way, your mochi making story stirred my poetry machine:
There's not a man upon the moon --
there isn't any cheese
and when you look upon a star
its coolness is a tease.
There is a rabbit pounding rice
cakes say the Japanese
upon the moon on New Years Eve --
so feminine is she.

wow, that's terrific!
i like how everyone else's relatives have given up and are just reading this blog now
I almost burst out laughing in the office at that first picture. Made my day mehan. Maybe my week. (Yes that's how dull it is up here in the town that never stops snowing)

Hilarious pictures. Brighten my day they do.
i'm that warm ray of sunshine in everyone's life
i cant believe they let a small child sit in your lap.
mehan, wheres the picture of you molesting the children in the bathroom? we dont give a shit about all that teaching shit.
you should check out my blog right now and see how to make a book at lulu.com (the last three posts, "Advice to a Young Bivouac")
lulu is the only place I've found that allows you to include color photos. When you're done here, you could pick out your best stories and a picture for each one and make a book; I would love to get one from you and seventh-gate.
