This is a picture of my students teaching me how to make an origami spinning top. This lesson was a fun one because instead of the teacher being the teacher, the teacher got to be the student. The class was split into groups. Each of the groups had one class period to come up with something they wanted to teach. Some of the other groups taught about cat’s cradle, how to make soup, and tea ceremony. If you look closely, there’s my matcha in the water bottle!! (ha-ha!).

This picture was taken somewhere in Tokyo. I took this picture because I thought these pinwheels looked really aesthetically pleasing to the eye. All of these pinwheels were made our of origami paper.

This photo was taken in my prefecture, Miyazaki. This beach is well known for surfing competitions, Aoshima Shrine, and the washboard like rock formation that you can see towards the bottom of the picture. I have a lot of memories from this beach. The first weekend I arrived in Japan, I went to a BBQ at this beach. My friend Emma and I underestimated the temperature of the sand and got second degree burns on both of our feet!! That was NOT fun. On the other hand, this was the beach I first learned how to surf with one of my best friends I met in Japan. It was a good beach to learn at because the waves wernt’t too big at the time.
