21/03 Back to Harajuku and Shibuya

 On Thursday I didn't plan on doing anything, but I ended up going to Harajuku and Shibuya to do some more shopping. When I went to Harajuku on Tuesday with Tammy I really loved it, so I wanted to go back by myself and just stroll around for a bit. Harajuku truly has the craziest shops I've ever seen. Everything is so extra and I loved it. 




I keep running in to these extremely cute animal cafés like a kitten café, puppy café and even an otter café! But I didn't go in because I don't want to support the use of animals for entertainment. 



I walked to shibuya once it started getting dark outside to head to 1 more shop and get some dinner. Once again I didn't know what I wanted to eat but I ended up at panda express. (an American fastfood chain that serves Chinese food) I had an awesome meal and headed back home because tomorrow will be a really exiting day!!

    Blij dat je naast het ottercafé ook hebt kunnen weerstaan aan de bodypiercings. (Allé, daar ga ik toch van uit. 😅)

25/04 Exploring Kyoto by bike

 This morning we woke up early, we had a private bike tour booked with Ted. His real name was a very difficult Japanese name so we could just call him Ted haha.  The bike tour was so nice, it really changed my view of Kyoto completely. Our hotel was quite a bit out of the city center and so I felt as though Kyoto was a bit dead, but during the bike tour I saw the complete opposite. We started with some very nice temples and Ted knew a great deal about them. Grandma had a hard time understanding him because he had a very special accent and he mumbled quite a bit so I had to listen extra careful and translate everything for her.  We then biked trough the Geisha district, I do not have any pictures of the Geisha because they really don't like it when tourists take pictures without permission but we did see 2 of them. It's sad that some of the districts now oficially had to forbid tourists because they kept invading the Geishas privacy and behaving really distrespectful....

Internship week 8

 This week will be the last week of my internship. It breaks my heart to think about it so I wanted to enjoy this week as much as possible. And I sure did exactly that! We were still doing the badges unit this week and it was so much fun! During the week the kids started building shapes in math and they got some really challenging ones done to earn the badges!  For UOI we had kerbal space program, a game where you have to build your own rocket and make it fly. It takes a whole lot of skills to build the perfect rocket and even more to make sure it doesn't crash. The kids were so motivated to make it work and they loved playing a videogame in class. And ofcourse we loved it too because they were motivated to learn an work! I try to make my own rocket and make it fly but lets say I still have some learning to do...maybe one day when I use it in my own classroom I might figure it out? 😅 The other option for UOI badges was making actual rockets, we started with learning how to ai...

20/04 Grandma arrived + spring carnival

 This morning I headed to the airport quite early. My grandma was arriving and I was going to pick her up. I was very exited to see her again and show her my life here. She had some trouble with her flights but got here around 11:30a.m.  When she arrived we took the metro to Nerima, for these first few days she would be staying in a hotel close to the school and my dorm. It was funny because the moment we got on the metro she started talking very loud and I was like 'ssst, oma! people don't talk on the metro here' and she was so confused haha. She ended up learning a lot more weird rules Japanese people have that day like standing left on the elevator, no eating/drinking while walking, no shaking hands when you meet someone... We checked in her luggage at the hotel and headed to Aoba. They had spring carnival going on and I was expected to be there so I asked if grandma could come along. Spring carnival is basically a big festival in the school: kids perform, foodtrucks, fa...
