Sunday we ate brunch at the hotel. It was delicious and we were so full afterwards! Then we went to the Brazil festival that was in YoYogi Park. Apparently there is a significant population of Brazilians living in Japan. We walked around a bit and listened to a band. After we left the festival we went to Akihabara Electric Town. This is the area of Tokyo that has many stores devoted to electronics and anime. They also have stores with Japanese souvenirs. We spent several hours looking at new and different electronic items and finish the cooking yourself. Most of the dishes include pepper rice, some kind of meat, and some kind of sauce. I tried a bacon cheese sauce with rice. It was quite tasty!
Monday after work I went to Shibuya (The shopping area I talked about before) with Jose and Lycell. We ate at Pepper Lunch again. LycelI really likes it! I ate beef and pepper rice this time. Then we looked at a few stores. I went to the Disney store. It looks Like Cinderella's castle outside and is decorated with different characters inside. They have a section unique to Tokyo which is pretty cool.
The rest of the week has so far been spent relaxing at the hotel.
While adventures outside of work have calmed down a little in the past week, work has gotten more hectic! We now have 46 children in the 3-5 age range and 66 children in the 6-12 age range! Probably at least half of them only speak Japanese! These kids sure do keep us busy! We are so tired by the end of the day! The kids are lots of fun though! We are doing a Dr. Suess theme this week and the children have really enjoyed listening to the stories and making the silly crafts. Today we read One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish and made a cute hand fish craft.
Next week we are doing an around the world theme which should be fun. I'll let you know how it's going in my next post.
From Tokyo with Love,
Rachael
