So, since I'm finished school, and instead of going to classes I'm helping out with the Japanese exchange students during the day.
Today we went to Fort Edmonton. Think outside museum, fur trade period.
For this we split up the students into 6 groups of 32 and each english volunteer would be paired with a Japanese teacher. I'm already quite intimidated.
Then I get paired with the 'cool' teacher. Y'know, the fashion conscious one who all the girls hang on and the guys treat like he's their age? Plus, his english isn't great. Turns out, me and him get along fine! The language barrier was a bit hard, but I practiced my Japanese and he got out his translator, and it worked fine.
The first thing we did was a scavenger hunt, so we gave each student a thing to find and they paired up in small groups and went their way. Leaving me and him to wander the site by ourselves. It was lots of fun.
He was surprised at how young I was (but who isn't) And when one of his students asked him to take a picture, he took their camera, let them pose, then flipped it around and took one of us instead! I also heard some of the girls tease him about being on a date, which at that time I thought meant that they were asking him on one, but now I figure that they were teasing him about me.
So anyway. Getting up early and running around all day isn't half bad! xD
Too bad he's not one of our Japanese teachers. And he's.. you know... older than be by a lot.
I'm just so freaking shy and unable to communicate with the kids, so it's nice to have made a friend. Even if he's an adult, like everyone else I hang out with. Ah well, at least he's Japanese.
