Day 1

A young Japanese trouble maker..



Our Fab school Orange...feel like you`re in jail sandals



Austyn learning some Japanese Math



Shoes off...uncomfortable sandals that dont fit ...on


Chris trying to draw a cup in Art Class...we are still trying to figure out why they stand every 5 minutes in class and bow to the teacher...but I kind of like it!

Austyn James

Here is Austyn, thrilled after returning from gym and about to learn some English..lets just say he didnt understand much during his morning Japanese Math Lesson!

Mallory Sailors

Here is Mallory after returning in from Gym Class...Weather is rather humid and mid 70s..just in between comfortable and almost sweaty :)

Day 1 Cont...

Austyn and Christopher conquering the Flight

Today I am with Mallory, Austyn, and Christopher at their Junior High School. They have a regular day of school set up for us here until after lunch where we will head to the opening ceremony at the High School. Both Austyn and Chris have adjusted well and seem to be in good spirits...as in the past on the trek to Hong Kong I know how important the first full day is when away from home..hopefully all will keep going smooth!
