Teaching stuff about stuff

Ahoy there! I'm back so soon! Sciving the internet from yet another staff room. This is my first day at this school and I'm here tomorrow too.
Next week I'm out on an island for Monday and Tuesday and another one for Wednesday and Thursday, then back local for Friday. I'll certainly be seeing a lot of the country anyway!

There's this teacher in the school I was in for the last few days who sits at the desk next to mine in the staff room. He can't speak much English and I can't speak much Japanese but he's just a really nice guy and is always making an effort to talk to me. They're dead nice over here. Everyone is extremely helpful and friendly and will do anything they can to help you with absolutely anything.

So far I've been teaching in junior high schools and I don't have any primary schools till mid-June. The little kids around my area are hilarious though. You can see some of them staring cause they've never seen a foreigner. Lots of them say 'Hello' and then collapse laughing when I say hello back to them, like it's the funniest thing they've ever heard! Sometimes I reply in Japanese, just to confuse them! They also find this hilarious. I think it's more of "oh my god - the foreigner can speak - and it spoke to me!"
I love it though. I'm a celebrity just by walking down the street and I make people collapse with laughter just by saying hello. It's great!
