【012】Halloween 2008 with Captain Todd Sparrow

This Halloween was very special.It was the first with my new staff and wife. She had the idea to dress me up as Captain Jack Sparrow in Pirates of the Caribbean. She got the costume for a bargain price, too. When my students saw me, they looked happy and excited to see a pirate. We went trick or treating around my school, played games, and drank and ate American foods. When the parties finished, I rode home by bicycle in the pirate costume and stoppped at 7-11. The customers inside were shocked to see a pirate using the ATM. I was a polite Pirate so I didn't steal any cash or gold coins.

【009】2008 October Fest @Shonan Beer Factory(Kumazawa Food Garden)

Tonight, my students, wife and I enjoyed delicious micro brewed beer, brick fired pizza, steak, salads, with cakes, yuzu and lemon ice cream for dessert. Altough it was a rainy night, it couldn't damper our fun!

After that, my wife and I stopped at a super sento to sober up a bit after drinking all that beer. We felt refreshed!
I'd like to thank my great students Takayuki, Hirohiko, and Harumi for attending that event with my wife and I and we look forward to seeing you there next year. It was a lot of fun drinking fresh factory made beer in a restaurant set in the image of a German Beer Hall. I felt as if I was in another country. Also in the US, this type of brewery is popular so that reminded me of home, in a way.

トッド先生は草津温泉に行って来ました　


生徒たちと友人と１泊２日の草津温泉旅行を楽しみました。

温泉や旅館はリーズナブルで風情がありとっても気に入りました。
　
お湯がちょっとあつかった。

大きなしゃもじでお湯をかきまぜる草津温泉がトッド先生は気に入りました。

魚がスキンの余計な角質を食べてくれるいわゆるドクターフィッシュといわれるものも体験してきました。

【005】Independence Day Celebration (June 23rd, 2007)

4th of July Independence Day Celebration is held every year at the Tokyo embassy to commemorate America's Birthday and founding in 1776.
Students had a grand time drinking free beer on the spacious lawn while watching a parade, bands, and Uncle Sam.

　7月4日、1776年のアメリカ誕生と建国を祝ってアメリカ独立記念パーティーが毎年アメリカ大使館宿舎で開催されます。生徒さんたちは、パレードやバンド、アンクルサムを見ながら広々とした芝生の上で無料のビールを飲みすばらしい時を過ごしました。

【001】Halloween 2006

10/25～31まで私たちはハロウィーンパーティーがありました。トリックオアトリートや、仮装コンテスト（トッド先生はオタク風ブルースリーになりました）…かぼちゃの重さ当てコンテストもありました。その中で、Ｌサイズかぼちゃでは、ＮさんとＡ君（どちらも高校生）がトップだったのは、驚くべきことでした。
