don't put your thumb on the inside of the rice bowl

This poster in an elementary school tells children not to put their thumbs in the rice bowl. It's rude!

Yoriko's friend Eriko took us to her children's elementary school. I got to go in to all of the classrooms and take pictures! The best part was taking pictures of kid's meals at lunch time. You've never seen anything so perfect. The most remarkable thing about visiting this elementary school was how well behaved all of the children were. After greeting me hardly any of them were distracted from their songs or work or rhymes they were doing, which was a perfect situation for me to get great photos! You wouldn't beleive how neatly they ate their lunch. One girl dropped two pieces of rice on the table and immediately picked them up and ate them. At the end of their meals they had to bring their bento boxes to the teacher to show her they'd eaten every last bite. Wow.

A trashcan for sale on the street.

It decorated a school's fence.

The Mcdonald's workers look so chic.

A mini Hello Kitty figurine celebrating Girl's Day. There are decorations all around for this holiday, but the mysterious thing is that the symbol for Girl's Day is a princess and prince on their thrones. What's the hell is the prince doing there?

A nice looking bottam half.

An interesting window display.



These pictures are a fraction of the thousand I've taken so far!! Having an amazing time! It's so great here I can hardly handle it.
