my neighbour
Kawasaki sensei stays next door with her 4 year old son, Taro. Her husband works as a marine guard in Okinawa and comes back to the island perhaps once or twice a month.
At school, we sit next to each other too. She is the English teacher at Narao JHS and i will be working closely with her in class.
She is an extremely nice lady, very caring and easy going. During my first 2 weeks on the island, she invited me to her place (2 second walk from my front door!)for dinner almost every night, gave me fruits and brought me out to do grocery shopping many times. She speaks very good English so we converse in a mixture of English and Japanese most of the time. I look forward to team-teaching with her in school. She's expecting her second child in February next year which means i will be working with someone new some time next year when she goes on maternity leave. I do hope i get on equally well with the new teacher though... It'll certainly be tough getting used to a new person's working style and personality all over again.
This is Taro-kun with his safety white dog (白ワンちゃん). I call him Mr. Taro at times. He's so adorable and very well-behaved too. Sometimes after school, when i get a ride home from Kawasaki sensei, we will first go to the day care to pick Taro up and he's always so smily whenever he gets on the car.
Taro-kun and the Singapore flag : )
