October 27, 2005 – Return to Fujinomiya
Posted by Barniferous in Shizuoka, Teaching English on October 27, 2015
Today was my second time working in Fujinomiya. You can read more about the first time here.
The Nova branch is in the middle of a mall. It serves both as an English school, and cheap babysitting so you can get your shopping done uninterrupted. Instead of telling you about my day, I present some haiku inspired by the Fujinomiya teaching experience.
Fujinomiya
Foreign teachers watch your kids
You can shop in peace
Fujinomiya
You can sing the alphabet
20 times a shift
Fujinomiya
Long train ride from Numazu
But the food court’s great
The front of the branch is
Open so everyone can
See how bad you teach
What am i doing
This isn’t my usual
School – no more shift swaps
March 1, 2005 – Happy Birthday to The Penpal
Posted by Barniferous in The Penpal on March 1, 2015
Today was The Penpal’s birthday. We spent the evening together when she was done work. For her present I wrote her a bunch of birthday haikus in English and simple Japanese.
Yes, it’s a bit of a cheesy present, but she seemed to like it so all is well.
