One of the things that is amazing about Japan is the bentos (lunches) that the parents make for their kids everyday here in Japan. I used to make Rachel's bento once a month when she was in pre-school (and maybe Alex's but I don't remember) and there were certain colors that I had to include in the bento. I was lucky enough to eat with my students on Halloween and many of the them had Halloween themed bentos.
My favorite was the Eyeballs that a student brought in a cooler which was made of Jello.
Hey Joanna, this is one of your fav old Garretson students, Greg Snyder. looks like you're having fun in Japan! The reason I am reaching out is I am in the preliminary stages of planning a trip to Tokyo in May. I'm looking to book in January. I want to go see the sumo tournament there that month.
ReplyDeleteIf it is at all feasible, I'd love to arrange some time where I can take a train out to you guys and maybe get lunch/dinner or something and catch up. I know it's early, but I figured I'd reach out sooner rather than later.
Feel free to reach out to me when you get a chance. My email is funnytallguy@gmail.com
Thanks!
Hey, Greg! It has been too long, so glad you commented. We would love to see you- maybe we can meet you in Tokyo for a sumo tournament day. We have been many times and enjoy it.
