First Entry from Japan

Written by cody Thursday, 20 May 2010 00:00

I have been in Koshigaya Japan for the past 2 months and life is finally starting to settle down. I have more free time now so I will finally start to blog and post pictures here. I am an ALT (Assistant Language Teacher) at two Junior High Schools, Hokuyo and Eishin. Both schools are in the city of Koshigaya which is about a 1 hour train ride north of Tokyo. Hokuyo is a country school and is one of the smallest schools in Saitama prefecture with about 245 students. Eishin on the other hand is the 5th largest in Saitama and has almost 1,000 students. They are very different and so far my experience at both has been pretty good. Yesterday I was planting rice with the 1st and 3rd year students at Hokuyo and last week I was helping the Japanese Teachers at Eishin make English listening tapes for midterms. Hopefully I will be getting pictures of both schools up soon.

Same here. It snowed about 2 weeks ago and this week it has been raining. But from my understanding rain during this time of year here is the norm.

What's the weather like there right now? Hot & humid like Kyoto?

BTW, in Sacramento we are still getting rain. Three days with some rain... during the last week of May. Our temps are still running in mid-70's. There was possible snow in the local mountains a couple days ago. Very strange times we live in.
