Last night I had a few beers and stayed up a bit late so I am a little sluggish today. But it is an easy day. The grade 3 class is gonna happen in the gym where I am gonna get the Kanga Cricket set out and just let them play that for 40 minutes or so. They'll love it and I'll occasionally yell something out in English and it will totally pass for E-time.
There are a lot of school excursions happening this week so lots of classes have been distrupted. The grade 2s are away today, yesterday the grade 3s were away so I got to eat my lunch in the staffroom while it was still hot! Yay. It was a terrible lunch though, half a bowl of rice with a whole grilled fish balanced on top, miso soup and spinach salad. Not very filling and not particularly yummy either. The fish was ok, I just left the tail though. I am fine with eating fish heads now, but not tails. Miso is yum, but not filling, it is just water with seaweed in it after all. Sometimes you get an occasional piece of tofu or carrot, but mostly it's just water. Today it's rice and pork soup. They love a bit of pork over here and consider it a vegie. Some vegetarian people here have told me that often the Japs will say to them, "you can eat today's lunch, no meat" and then they look at the soup and it has pork in it, or the salad has ham pieces in it. No meat my arse! It is really quite hard to be vego in Japan considering that traditionally they are a culture without much meat in their diet.

Someone told me just last week that it was really hard to find veggie food in Asia (well, at least in the country they were in - don't remember which one, but it was an Asian country) I was quite surprised
