It feels... superficial somehow to make this comment, but the Thai students were so damn cute. Their full Thai names were very long and basically impossible for us to pronounce so they all had rather charming single-syllable nicknames. This coupled with the fact that each student had a very distinct personality accentuated by his or her style of dress just made them downright adorable.
Perhaps it was because I was only teaching them for a week, and the instructor-to-student ratio was about five times what I am used to, but the Thai students were also a lot more fun to teach than those back in the States.
Snapped this photo in a huge, four-or-five-story electronics store. One floor was dedicated to cameras, other ones had kitchen appliances (the largest number of externally separate drawers/compartments I saw in a refrigerator? 5.) and TVs and probably gaming systems too. We didn't explore all the floors...
A 7-11.. sort of.
As our time in Fukuoka was winding down we took a bus tour around the city. We went to this temple where I ran out of film about three photos inside the gate, but it was just as well because we had about fifteen minutes before we headed out, and shooting film tends to slow me down. There were some weird things about that experience, but I'm tired and it's a story for another time.
You have all seen My Neighbor Totoro, yes? I highly recommend it.
