Day 438 { Work On Sunday / Xenophobia in Japan }

Went to work today, just like last year this time... My main school has the first Monday in June as their holiday, and the Sunday before that as a normal school day. This day is an open day where parents would come and watch me teach.... There were only 2 men among the parents, and when the class was over, I made a hasty retreat. Eventually, they called me to attend this session afterward, where a blind Japanese guy and a lady, sang some songs while he played the piano. Many of the stuff I didn't understand so I was falling asleep every now and again...

I can't believe that there is even a bar in my prefecture on the "don't want foreigners here" list. http://www.debito.org/roguesgallery.html#Kurashiki

Well I hope for the best here and hope that I never experience any blatant racism stuff. I get the stares and that's it so far...
