The Last Class
Before, I said my Canadian teacher will go back to Canada and for him, we had a party at class! We considered what pereset is good for him and decided to buy Jinbei and give a message card from everyone.For the party, we prepared cream puff with mustard to play a game! We planed to play bingo and as one of prizes, we have to eat cream puff like Russian roulette!! That's crazy...
Before starting a party, we gave him an invitation to the party. That's fun to surprise someone! When he came into our class, we pull a cracker and yelled "We love Peter!"
And then, we gave him Jinbei. He wore it and looked so cute☆ After saying "Cherrs", we played bingo. Yey! Unfortunately, I couldn't get a prize but it was fun for me to spend with my classmates. For the last game, we did a scary game. That's guessing who is eating masturd cream puff and who is not. I did it twice but didn't eat mustard! Lucky! I used up all of fortunes then!?
Finally, he convyed a message to us. That was emotional and warm. I could feel how much he loved our class and appreciated us. I feel really happy that I could meet him. I learned many things from him, the importance of studying, the difficulty and interest of writing ,and knowing own culture and other cultures. I can't say everything but surely, I learned a lot from him. I'm so sad that we can't take his classes anymore. But I hope he can also enjoy his second life in Canada.
After going back to home, I checked e-mail and noticed that he sent us an e-mail. It was really really long mail but I didn't feel painful. I read his mail and I was more impressed with it, how he thinks about us, how he feels about his future, I knew his bottom of mind.
Thanks for everything, Peter! Good luck in Canada!
It's one of intersts in my life to meet new people and get something. Meeting new people makes me mature and develops myself.

What a great teacher you have ;) and how great the students he have ^_^
He's going to Canada and you to USA, right?
It's a shame that when I go to Japan, you are at USA...
Well, you'll come to Japan!? When will you come and why?
Please enjoy Japan! There are a lot of interesting places in Japan.

Having great teachers is one of the best things in life. It gives you an opportunity to learn a lot of good things and inspires you to be the best that you can be.
I think that is also one of the reasons I decided to become a teacher. I remember all of the good teachers that I had and how they influenced and inspired me to become a teacher as well.
You can still keep in touch with him thru e-mail. I also e-mail my students sometimes, after they returned to their countries.
Yes, that's a great thing and first time for me to meet such a good teacher. Sadly, I've never met Japanese estimable teachers...
Well, how long have you been teaching?
You can meet a lot of countries' students so it must be interesting to know other cultures through your students.

Hi Erika,about you question.
I have taught English for 1 year in the Philippines. It's very interesting to learn from the different cultures of my students. Most of them were from Japan, China, Korea, Indonesia, Taiwan, etc.
One of the great teachers I had in my university is Japanese. Nagai-sensei was my teacher in Nihonngo, Japanese Culture and in Sociology and Anthropology. She was a very good teacher and I enjoyed her lectures and discussions in class.
I'm sure that you will meet many more wonderful teachers in your university.
It was surprising for me that many Asian students come to Philippines because Philippine language is not English, isn't it? There are many English language schools in Philippines?
Oh, that's great! You had a good Japanese teacher :-) When I study abroad in America, maybe I can meet good teachers in my uni!

Hehe, what if I'm wrong? :-| Don't get angry, ok? Have to look closer. Will give my answer later :-D
Hmm.. this was more difficult than I thought!
My guess is number three from the left on the first row from the bottom(including the half face) :-D
I don't get angry! No, I'm in the third place from the right on the fourth row :-) You can see I'm wearing a red tank top. Maybe that's quit hard to find me because you don't know me! That's me~!
Sharky> Noooo, I'm not a man!! The men in back is a boy ：-( But that's Ok because you can't see his face.

Anyway, we have to make a wild guess somehow.

OK :-D There you are!
Heh... I thought it was either she who I guessed you were, or she who you really are... I always choose wrong...
You show your self in the profile photo yeah? Thought so, but some say you never have shown you apperance.. Or am I totally wrong?? :-)
Good night!
The girl who is shown in my profile is not me. As I said before, she is my favorite singer, aiko :-) I love her very much so I put it!

The guy in the black shirt made quite a great facial expression. :D
One thing I have always wondered, how did the "victory" hand gesture become such a common pose for photograph in Japan? I don't see people doing there over here.
Ha ha, he is fuuny person :-D
We use peace pose unconsciously so I didn't think it's curious. So, in your country what pose do people do? It's different each other?

From Wikipedia:
V Sign
Scroll down to the "Japan and the V sign" section.
Oh, that's very interesting! Surely, Japanese often posed, "peace." But I've never thought about why and the origin.
When I took purikura(print club) with my Amrican friends, they don't do peace pose. And, I asked about peace pose to my HK friend, he said it is used only by young. So for other countrie' people, peace pose is not cool!?
