STAFF PART 4
This is Sugyo-sensei. Looks like she just made a bad shot, or something. Hmm. On computer she looks a little blurry, sorry about that. You know how it is sometimes with sport photography. Things move so fast, it's hard to catch them on film.
Here is Shimazaki-sensei, a workaholic at 27, and a really nice guy. With my broken Japanese and his nearly non-existant English we have some hilarious conversations.
This was a small winter party at which I tried Fugu, or the deadly puffer fish, for the first time. Don't worry mum, I let some other teachers...taste test it first. After five minutes, they were still talking, so I dug in. Interesting texture to it, but pretty bland overall.
