Visiting a Japanese High School

I'm in Saitama for my home stay, and it's the first time I've ever been here.  To be honest, it's so nice to get out of the big cities for a little while and enjoy spending some time in a smaller town.

Today I had the pleasure of visiting a Japanese high school called Inagakuen.  My host mother teaches there, and she showed me around the school.  I was lucky enough to watch some of the kids practice karate, and they were excited to practice their English skills with me.

Even though I'm not at camp right now, I still feel like a counselor sometimes, and that's a good feeling.  Last night, I helped out with a private English lesson briefly, and I'll have the same opportunity tonight with a different student.

My host mother is showing me some interesting Japanese musicians, and I'm now hooked to the song "Dragon Night" by Sekai No Owari.  If I have the opportunity, I might buy one of their CDs.

That's all for now, and as usual, take care!
