The elementary school kids are so cute. They're not at that 'Im so cool' phase of young teenagers are are just friendly and like having fun. Though the junior high students are quite good too, they are similar to NZ high school students but a little better behaved I think. The elementary school kids keep giving me little presents. A girl made and gave me an origami crane. A boy made and gave me an origami ninja star! cool huh?. I've also been given natto (fermented soya beans) which I haven't tried yet. They are infamous for foreigners here along with umeboshi (pickled plum) I like umeboshi but I will try the natto tonight. The kids have great pets like little hamsters and strange big beetles. they show me all their japanese toys which are so cute and japanese and quite different from NZ. It makes me want to be a primary school teacher! True!. Today we played games and did skits and had lots of fun. Soon I do to the next elementary school for today then I have an beginners adult english class in the evening. will write again soon.
