aussies are cool

crazy aussies, i tell ya

completely butchering the English language

shocking! 

real dodgy English.

so t0s4juku has an exchange program with two schools in australia

these students came this year, really fun group of kids

they were all really, really different

and all really, really insane (puwahahaha)

these are pics from our crazy excursion day

we went to a botanical garden, a museum dedicated to a kochi hero

and a crazy art museum

hopefully they had a good time, i did!

they're all gone now, it's pretty cool having people you know

all over the world! 

hope these kids got something real precious from these short 

weeks in Kochi.. 

and not just a bunch of calories 

from creme puffs that they made me buy..

just another sunday

Nishi-sensei has a quite a history with the church

and Hamada-sensei has been trying 

to get Nishi-sensei to come visit Tosa Church again

so he came! success!

after that i cruised over into the depths of ino

to a japanese paper museum/factory

they were having an event at qraud

of music, food, crafts, gifts, fun

some buddies performed (Guy and Mia)

and i got to talk to this girl.

she calls herself tabineko.

i've seen her before, 

and was just blown away at the way she carried herself

she's really, really, really weird, 

but really, really, really, really awesome

just full-on herself

and she's got a killer voice

im always looking forward to her crazy facebook posts and blog entries

side note, bon voyage mia,

hope you're having a good time!

good sunday, good sunday

always meeting new people, making new friends,

hopefully learning new things

i've met some real amazing people!

she homestayed at my house 

it was a real short exchange program but we got to be pretty good friends

she was.. an 8th grader? when i met her, 

now she's a university student, full-on adult.

it was cool chatting andcatching up
