Tokyo is so busy... we crossed an intersection today that 10, 000 people cross at every interval. It was amazing to watch!! Off to Disneyland tomorrow! !!
Welcome to my blog. On the 13th of September 2013 I will be embarking on a once in a lifetime journey to Osaka, Japan as part of the BTchLN Primary teaching degree with the University of Canterbury. This blog will act as my journal of wonderings, relevant literature, inspiring moments and interesting information that I have discovered on my journey.

Day 5! Junior High School :)
Our first day visiting a junior high school. 3 grades- 5 classes - 38 students in each class! Aged 13 - 15 years old. We started the day by introducing ourselves to the whole school in japanese!! Talk about scarey!!! Then we had a tour of the school and was able to observe in 2 classes. We had the opportunity to spend lunch time with the students where they were very happy to show me some Michael Jackson moves!! Had a great time!!! More of the same tomorrow :)
Osaka, Japan
Osaka is so busy!! There are people everywhere! Today it was 34degrees and we visited the aquarium and took a ride on the osaka wheel. A massive ferris wheel that looks over the city!
We visited a beautiful and peaceful shrine and walked through a bamboo forest.
