XMAS IN TOKYO!

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!

today is christmas eve...and it was full of surprises! 

three of my students planned out a surprise christmas party at our school. they brought a bunch of delicious food (including natto sushi, which they took pictures of me eating. silly, japanese!) and one of my students even made a CHRISTMAS CAKE (tradition here in japan)!!! OISHII!!!!!!

p.s. notice how much i look like a teacher, f'real.

christmas is a big couples holiday here. most couples go out for dinner, buy each other gifts, etc...like valentine's day. new years is spent with family. OR, if you don't got a lover you spend it with friends by having a party. 

today i got paid to teach three classes (and each class was basically a free-for-all conversation class), eat lots of delicious food, and get some gifts from some of my other students. all-in-all, i'm pretty much loving my job right now. 

tomorrow i teach four classes and then its my winter holiday! horray!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!
