The Best Kyoto-Sensei Ever!

Okay, brief post: I have two kyoto-sensei (vice-principal) at my school, and while both of them are very nice, one is superbly hilarious every day. When I first met him, he insisted on being called the vice PRESIDENT, emphasis on PRESIDENT. Mostly he finds new things to come up to me and say, or to give me. They are always random, and I think they are things he needs to get rid of, so he tries them out on me. He has also clued into the fact that I won't get paid for some time (first real check is end of Nov) so that's part of the offerings. He is truly a funny, funny man.

Things I have obtained or been offered:

1. The ability to swim in the school pool. ("But you must wear the bikini.")

2. A fruit jelly cup.

3. A hornet's nest cut from a bush outside the school. When I said no, I don't want that, he asked why not. I said, "what am I supposed to do with it?" And he laughed. For a long time.

4. A sushi bento (lunch box).

5. A Mexican newspaper from July. ("You can read. You can have." Really? I did not know I could read Spanish.)

6. The use of a school bicycle.

I'm sure there's more to come....

A Return to Japan, 2015

Several years ago we had the opportunity to take some good friends of ours, Bo and Liz, to Japan. I'm going to focus on the new things we did and then link to previous blog posts for reference to the things we repeated from our time living in Japan. The trip started out awesome and then kind of fell into a bad place for me and Matt, unfortunately. I chalk it up to our inability to tell Bo and Liz when we wanted to do something different from what they wanted to do, and Matt's desire to be a good guide in the country as he was the only fluent Japanese speaker. He felt a lot of responsibility and then got really tired and very stressed out, which in turn made me very stressed out. I say this not as a rebuke of our friends, who had no way to know how we were feeling since we didn't communicate, but as a gentle suggestion to anyone who travels with friends. Say how you feel and don't be passive aggressive about it. Own up to your limitations and ask for what you need. Your ...

Enter: Germany

We stopped in Munich to visit my good friend Martina who studied abroad in America during high school. Munich is an unbelievably beautiful and clean city, full of spectacular architecture and interesting places to visit. The surrounding area is made up of rolling hills dappled with stupendous castles. Martina and her man Christian were the best hosts ever, taking us all over and dealing with us in their space for almost three weeks! The first main tourist site we visited was Hohenschwangau, home of two castles. The first we saw was Schloss Neuschwanstein, built by Ludwig II. It was never really completed, especially inside, as the King went bankrupt during the process. He was removed from the throne and thrown in prison, where he managed to talk his way out for a solitary walk where he drowned himself. It's a tale befitting such a sight and such a life. The castle itself, shown below from an onlooking bridge, is an impressive white ...
