12/04 Friday Funday

 Friday was a pretty normal day in school, it was once we got out of school that the fun really started. Angie and I wanted to go clubbing in Tokyo because neither of us had ever been. But our friend Vincent was also having another DJ gig so we wanted to go to that first. 

When I got home I fell asleep right away, I was more tired then I wanted to admit haha. I slept until I nearly had to leave but luckily I know that Angie is not very good at being on time either, so she was even later then I was! 😆

We went to the charity event Vincent was playing at. It was a whole different vibe then usual but kinda fun. The event was in a coffee shop and it was really chill. I asked the bartender for some hot chocolate with Baileys but he didn't have any. So I had a look at the liquors and asked for Cointreau instead. At first he said 'are you sure? It's not going to be good!' And I said, ofcourse it will be good, I've had it before. He made one for me and a small sample for himself and he liked it so much that he wanted to add it to the menu haha. 


Around 11:30p.m. we headed out and took the last metro to Shibuya. The club we were going to had 3 floors: 1 was typical Japanese music, 1 was techno and the third floor was R&B. We went to the techno and R&B one and both were soooo nice. We had an amazing time. 


Maybe a little too much fun... When the song went 'go low low low low...' I did too and guess what happened...My pants ripped haha. We had to beg the security to let us go out to the lockers and then come back in and he felt so bad that he gave us a wristband so we could go get my jacket to tie around my waist. We were laughing sooo hard, and to be honest...after I got my jacket I didn't really mind anymore and we just went back in to party more! 


The club closed at 4:30a.m. so we met up with Aris to go home. Originally he was going to join us in the club but he hates clubbing and was only doing it for us. When we saw that the entrance price for men was almost 4x the amount it was for women he just went to an Izakaya and had a drink there. Deep inside I think he was kinda happy he didn't have to come in to the club. 

We walked back to the station and headed home. But we had to stop and give Hachiko, the most famous dog in Japan a little liquid breakfast. 


I got home around 7a.m. and went to sleep feeling so tired but so happy. Another new experience here in Tokyo. Talk to you soon! 😽

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...
