Some pictures of Japan

There's a fishing pond about 20 minutes by bike from my apartment

I'm responsible for decorating the English bulletin board at school. This was my summer edition. In retrospect, I needed some decorations to liven up the gaps.

This is a lovely Japanese-style garden that I enjoyed when I visited Nagoya in November.

This is a construction site near my apartment. As you can kind of see, workers take tremendous pains to keep the site clean and organized.

Here I am at work on Christmas eve. Yes, that's me and not the real Santa Claus. I managed to fool most of the teachers, but the students were too sharp.

This is the lovely Yokohama skyline which I was able to see on winter break. It's actually nicer at night, but you wouldn't know from the way my phone takes pictures.
