First Day's

My first few days have got me thinking.

Why would Sano need one part of their school to be one place, and another part in another place? That does not seem logical to me. Unless you needed to separate some kids because they misbehaved, I do not see why one part of the school would be separate from the rest. And why is part of the school in the government building? I understand that the school is government owned and operating because of the government, but why in the government building? I believe that would send a bad message to children.

What about Japanese wealth? Why is Tokyo so rich and Sano so poor? My apartment is supposedly the best in town, but it doesn't even have a seat for the toilet. Wealth in smaller cities like Sano would make it so people could travel to Tokyo, and spend their money there, making Tokyo just as rich. After just a few days, I am not looking forward to my stay in Sano.

I do not get why the Japanese people feel the need to ask such stupid questions. Everything I saw about Japan was nice, orderly and smart. I understand that these people have never seen a white man before, but is it really necessary to ask, "can you eat a Japanese rice cracker? It's made of Japanese rice." Those kinds of questions make your race seem pompous, jerky, rude and arrogant. Who can't eat a specefic type of food if your not allergic to it? The only question that might be asked in America was, "do you like sex?" I don't want to seem cocky or anything, but these people need to go to some other country, because they don't understand that their culture is very similar to ours.

Good bye from Sano. I'm going to teach my first class today.
