The Warship Arrives!
Ok, it was more of a gunboat than a warship, but it was still pretty awesome. All the brochures and stuff that I got were in Japanese so I can’t comment too much on the specifications. Rather, here are some pictures:
Today was the last elementary school lesson to boot, so it’s been a sad week. The kids shower me with origami and crap tons of letters and photos which was very nice. Likewise one of the teachers said that he thought I was the best ALT he’s worked with, which made me feel really great! Kinda nice to know that, even if he’s being polite, I wasn’t a totally dismal teacher of English!
Since day 1 the kindness of the people of Sarufutsu has been simply incomparable to anything I’ve ever experienced before in my life, and it hasn’t diminished at all in the year I’ve stayed here. If anything, I will miss the open generosity of the people here, as well as the immense pride they have in their work and village. A reminder to my hardened heart that there are kinder places in this world than I had previously imagined.
If only they needed someone to teach them Strategic Studies…
