The farewells begin...

Okisho has been fortunate to have an awesome Assistant Language Teacher (ALT) from Minnesota for the past two years. Aaron has learned a lot of Japanese, and seems to have the perfect sense of humour to entertain the students in class. But more than just an entertainer, Aaron has shown great ability to teach English, encourage communication, and has been an awesome guy to hang out with during lunch times and spare periods. We got to teach team 6 hours per week, and even when the students weren't "with us", we managed to have a good time. Here's a picture of him with one of our favourite classes, "3文E2", all pointing at the infamous "Aaron gap". Aaron will still be with us for another 9 days, but the farewells and tears are already beginning. We'll miss him dearly.
