Teaching English In Japan | Memories & Photos

The actual anniversary of my arrival in Japan was April 6th, 2020. Unfortunately, the covid-19 pandemic had just hit us and I forgot. But, better late than never.

My First Apartment

 

I lived in Kawasaki's(川崎市) Nakahara Ward for (中原区) from April 2000 until August 2001. I didn't spend much time in the area, but I learned that Domino's Japan was much better than any Domino's in Canada😆.

Teaching The Little Ones

I don't know how many people I taught, but it must've been thousands. I especially enjoyed teaching children in my last four years in Japan

     

Places In Tokyo & Yokohama

One Of My Favourite Bars

My last residence was in Mitsukyo (三ツ境) in Yokohama's Ashi Ward. One of the things I liked about Japan was that no matter where you lived, there was a local bar within walking distance. I was only in Mitsukyo from August 2014 to June 2015, but I made sure to have a brew and a friendly chat with Monstera Cafe's  owner, Hajimé-san. 

I celebrated New Year's Eve at Monstera. I gave snake wine (ハブ酒) 🐍🍷 a go. A strong, interesting nutmeg flavour, but definitely not for everyone. Definitely don't mix with saké and beer.

Friends & Colleagues

Finally, there are the friends I made, colleagues I knew, and the people I briefly met. They all made my experience unforgettably fun. I wouldn't have stayed in Japan so long if it weren't for them.

I wish I could post more photos, but those of you who are interested can go to my Instagram to see a few more highlights.
