Okinawa Times: back home
http://juhirituparna.blogspot.com/2007/08/back-home.html
Saturday, August 25, 2007. Am back in Delhi. It isn't too great. I had hoped more things would have changed in that one year I was away, but alas. not much has changed in Delhi. I can only hope I don't have too serious a reverse culture shock. The only saving grace is the plethora of mangoes that mom bought and kept the fridge :). I am truly very grateful. I now declare the end of my Okinawa Times. Juhi, of course you can add me! I'll do the same, and always feel free to drop a line. Mata ne. S,cs,& ns.

Wednesday, August 22, 2007. Fuji San, Golden Kanazawa, and my last day. These three probably deserve a separate post each. Alas! I don't have time on my hands. I know they shall be saved as drafts and posted much much later than today! But they shall be here for your reading pleasure none the less! Sunrise from Mt. Fuji:. 15th August 2007 (India's 60th Independence Day). May the pics say it all (for text, please refer to Mr. David Crennen's An Attempt at Mt. Fuji):. I really need all the luck I can get.

Monday, January 29, 2007. At Kamimotobu J. H. School today, as I walked across the parking lot to the staff room building, behold! After lunch when I went to speak to the students, I discovered that it was named Gonzales at first, but then it was discovered that its a she, so it was renamed Kaserin. And I knighted her Lady Catherine, Her Majesty Queen of Kamimotobu JHS, served upon by her faithful subjects, the students of Kami Chu. ( 0 )/. On a more nostalgic note:. Sunday, January 28, 2007. Okinawan ch...

Friday, December 29, 2006. On Wednesday, my BOE. Board of Education) had their. End of year party). It was lots of fun, like most of these wild parties are. you would think that in an office party there would be a sense of decorum, and it would be a dignified affair. WRONG! It is nothing of this sort, nor will it ever be. In this part of the world, parties are what parties are supposed to be: wild, drunken, bacchanalic. Uninhibited fun and frolic with singing, dancing and great food. Have to wear a sari!

Tuesday, June 26, 2007. Blunders and hokkaido kids. Some of the elementary kids from Minami Furano - Motobu s sister city - in Hokkaido came for a summer exchange programme. The Board of Education has been preparing for months for this, planning the home stays, welcome ceremony/party, making gifts and many more which I will never know, and all they needed was for their ALTs to mess it up. Anyhow. the evening progress smooth enough after that. There were Ryukyu dances:. Little ballerinas, they were sooooo.

Okinawa Times: Farewell
http://juhirituparna.blogspot.com/2007/08/farewell.html
Friday, August 10, 2007. Today the BoE gave Dave and I a farewell. They also combined it with a welcome for Emily and Everette - the 2 new ALTs in Motobu. Since Dave's cousin - John was also invited, there was a shocking number of gaijin present in party! It was at the same place as my welcome and Lorena's farewell party last year. Dave wore his Jimbei, and I wore a different sari. Will post in the future when I get them! Till then I shall keep the mental images in my head! View my complete profile.
