The OASIS Team

Next week, we will have a new teacher starting at OASIS. But for most of July, it was only one other teacher (Michi) and I at the school, along with our very sweet boss Ryoko-san. One day last week I walked into the office to find these three hard-boiled egg representations of the three of us, done by Ryoko-san. She's in the middle, Michi is on the left and I'm on the right! It was super cute.

Also, I learned that in Japanese culture telling someone that they look like an egg is a good thing. One of the students told Michi that she had an egg head and Michi and I cracked up (no egg pun intended). While "egg-head" in rather insulting in our cultures, I learned that in Japanese comparing someone to an egg means that they have a nicely shaped head and beautiful smooth skin. What a fun fact!


Also, I'm very much enjoying a week-long vacation right now!
