Tachikawa, Japan

Today was our big day for English lessons. We had the beginning of the day to ourselves, but tonight we had five or six students on our schedule. After lunch we went to pass out flyers for an ice cream party. Though Tim and Andrew didn't see many kids, Missy and Amanda were kept busy. The kids had fun seeing Americans. Later that evening we had all of our lessons. Unfortunately, Andrew's student was unable to come. Instead he went around taking pictures of everyone as they taught. Missy had her first lesson with Mrs. Hosokawa, while Christi taught Kikuko, who is Mrs. Hosokawa's mother-in-law. Again, Brandon taught Chie. Amanda had the most difficult lesson with Mr. Tanokura, because he knows very little English at all. She says that she does well even with the difficulties, because she is able to use hand motions to describe what she is talking about.
