Was back at Nose for camps 5 and 6 this week. For camp 5 we had four different groups – one Jr High and the rest were high schools. Two of the schools also had male students, which was a treat since we normally deal with all girls groups. But alas, I was deemed a […]
Before I depart back to my beloved Nose I will leave you all with one parting gift. That is Yatta! (Japanese for All right! or Hurray!) It’s the Japanese YMCA. And I do the dance every camp session for laughing Japanese children. Minus the costume. Watch it. Love it. And think of me.
The prob with the training facility was the food. Since the facility didn`t have cooking staff, we had Bento Boxes. Not just for lunch either. For every meal. And funny thing is that they all look the same. You can`t really tell the breakfasts from the lunches from the dinners. Always with a piece or […]
Upon returning from my first homestay, we started camp session number 2. This time there were 8 girls from a Jr. High School. Uh, 8 girls and 20 ACs. Needless to say camp was a little on the relaxing side. I didn`t even have campers in my cabin there were so few of them (at […]
A parent came to observe his kid at camp yesterday. He saw his kid was OK and we said “Don’t worry, your son is having lots of fun here with us!”. He replied, “Good! I am having lots of fun with my wife – maybe we will have another baby!”

So tomorrow I head back to camp in the AM. As much fun as camp was, this is way more fun. I have 2 little sisters, Himawari (Hi-chan – 6 years old) and Akari (19 months). They are the cutest. Hichan can say `Jenn, come here!` perfectly, so we get along great so long as […]
From the schools`s website…. Day 1 Day 2 Day 3 Look for the kid representing canada!
Konnichiwa! I:ve been at Camp USA the past week doing training and it has been very entertaining. We are now in osaka for the day to meet our Japanesed host families. The camp has us getting up at 6:30 in the morning to do stretching exercises to music. i think it is called radio taiko. […]
So I think that Nose might be Japanese for Nowhere because that:s where it is. In the middle of the woods with lots of huge bugs. Jumping spider cricket thingies, of which there were 5 plus in our room the other night. The first three things they told us were:1. don:t drink the water without boiling […]
