Day 275 { No Body Odor / Please Don't Cry :( }

At the Friday English conversations that I go to, the lady told me that as far as she knows, Japanese don't carry a body odor...Well, she would know because her husband is Japanese... Neither do Japanese dogs like one called "Shiba kens" have a bad smell...Wow that's interesting...Maybe I will try to smell one of the girls from yesterday to see if it's true :) ......... Ok don't pay me any mind....

A little girl in the grade 3-4 class today at this school, told the classroom teacher to translate to me that, she won't be coming back to this school for the new year. So I asked why...And she said because her parents moved to a new location so they are going to start a new elementary school. 

So I decided to pretend as if I was crying. Only to see the little girl break down in tears and crying very loudly... The other students had to be calming her down and I was there telling her "Don't mind, don't mind" ... But her loud sobs suddenly started to make my eyes burn so I had to run away quickly before I embarrassed myself. Because big men like me, DEAR not even show a hint of emotion..... I was shocked that the little girl was crying like this...I guess maybe because I am taking this job so lightly, I was totally unaware of the impact that I am actually making.
