Yamathon

On November 27, I walked around the Yamanote Line in Tokyo with my friends for the charity, Oxfam. Our team had 4 people, who are all ALTs, but Japanese people also did the walk. The walk was about 35 kilometers or 22 miles. The first half was really enjoyable, but the end was really difficult. The part around Shinagawa seemed especially difficult. We walked from 7 a.m. until 7 p.m. We began at Harajuku Station and ended at Harajuku Station. I took pictures at every station, but I have only included a few here.

This is around 6:30 a.m., right before we began the walk.

This is my walking team.

This was the 1/2 way mark. We tried to make it with people, but it doesn't look like 1/2.

Ebisu Garden Place

Lately, I've been going to Tokyo almost every weekend. A few weeks ago, I went to Ebisu Garden Place to walk around there. The Christmas lights are so cool there. If you go to Tokyo before Christmas, you should definitely check it out.

Halloween

For Halloween, we played a mummy game in English Club. I thought the pictures were really funny, so I decided to upload them. Also, in class, we played a direction game with a witch poster. I think the students really enjoyed the game.

Judo

Recently, our school had a judo competition between the homerooms. It was my first time watching judo. I couldn't really understand what the rules were. It looks kind of scary too. I think I would die if I tried judo, but I think it would be interesting to do.
