Today can be summed up in 2 events.

1. After teaching the grade one and two elementary students, I received as a token of their appreciation for the fun they had had, one large daikon.

2. Have you ever seen the unisex bathroom on Ally McBeal? At most schools, there is only one bathroom for both male and female teachers. Usually, the women just let the men have it and they use the female students's bathroom. At one school, I am lucky enough to have a normal toilet. It just happens to be in the staff washroom. I didn't feel like using a squatter today so I knocked on the staff washroom door and walked in after no reply. To my horror, I walked in as Kyoto-sensei (the Vice-Principal) was finishing up his business at the urinal. I hope that never happens again!
