Tachikawa, Japan

Back to English lessons today. Andrew had his first lesson and his second, all in one day. The others had their usual students. Christi and Missy helped to teach a group of four Junior Highers. Andrew enjoyed his lessons today. His first group was three generation of ladies: the grandmother, the mother, and the granddaughter. He particularly enjoyed it because the grandmother had lived through World War II. She had planned to learn English at that time, but all English lessons were cancelled because of the war. She had cousins who were second generation Japanese-American. They experienced the relocation camps in the states while she supported her family in her father's absence. Tonight we also had a typhoon come in. The way home for all of us was quite wet. Mike had a twenty minute walk in the rain without an umbrella. He said that Uki's expression when he arrived was priceless.
