Lunches here are very healthy. A lot of vegetables! <br />Teachers really respect their students here, I really like that aspect. They expect a lot out of the students, and the teachers also really pay attention to unique learning habits of different students.<br />It's really great to hear from you!<br />-KatieKatiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08218677284954846205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2650197177635758528.post-62357891220222595662012-04-10T05:06:08.731-07:002012-04-10T05:06:08.731-07:00Tom here on Jerri Jo's computer.

Culture shock in spades I would think. Perhaps the Japanese have become very strict in their enforcement of order to avoid the kind of chaos and lack of respect we often seem to put up with either out of fear, apathy or resignation. At least the Japanese have not given up on a large segment of their youth population.Jerri Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13580458704197428594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2650197177635758528.post-41715551340134703162012-04-10T04:56:43.454-07:002012-04-10T04:56:43.454-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Jerri Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13580458704197428594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2650197177635758528.post-32815455965313591532012-04-10T04:27:39.753-07:002012-04-10T04:27:39.753-07:00Haha, that's a great idea too!

With a little imagination, anything can be furniture. <br />We're really enjoying ourselves, though I think it might be awkward to have guests over.<br />-KatieKatiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08218677284954846205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2650197177635758528.post-53537267575682790092012-04-09T17:04:26.215-07:002012-04-09T17:04:26.215-07:00I remember the first night of our family at an apa...I remember the first night of our family at an apartment at Bear Creek. <br />We used suitcases as our dinner tables, because it was not furnished yet.<br />Have fun!Hideonoreply@blogger.com
