Go to school

Go to the school

It is a hard thing to go to school in Japan.

I go to school by train in Japan. Train is one of the most common transportation in Japan. It is very very convenient. It is convenient, so a lot of people use train to go to their work. In the morning, at a train station, there are many many  people who go to work, go to school. And every one get on one train!  I never can get seat. I cannot even get on the train easily. The train staff squeeze passengers in to the crowded train. However I could get on the train, it is hard to get off. I have to push others to get off the train. It is hell.

Here, my host father takes me and my host sister to school by car everyday. I am not squeezed by the train staff. I do not have to push others. It is like a paradise.

Maths

Maths

I really surprised at Mathis class in Australia.Why can I use calculator in the Mathis class? In Japan, we are not allowed to use calculators in the class. We have to calculate by ourselves even sins and cosines. In Japanese school, in the Mathis tests, I was always up set when I could not calculate colectry.  But here, I don't have to worry about calculation!

Thanks to calculators, I can always get right answers.

I hope the Japanese teachers let us to use calculators.

Lunch in Japan

Lunch

Japanese schools are very different from Australian school. In Japan, we usually have lunch in the class room sitting at our desk. Never outside, never sit on the ground. The field of the most Japanese school is not grass, that is earth. My first day of the school in Australia, I am surprised. I liked that. I feel like having a picnic. 

The lunches are very different too. Students bring "obentou" for lunch from their home. " obentou" is like this.

Their mother make these every morning. We eat a lot for lunch because w don't have time for recess. In most of the elementary schools and junior high schools the students are not allowed to bring any snacks to school.

And this is "kyara benn".

Some of the mothers make these for their children. My mother never makes these for me :-(

I want to have one.
