New life: osaka, japan

First impression:

I've heard so many things about Osaka people being different from Tokyo people. So far the biggest difference I've seen is that the city of Osaka is way dirtier than Tokyo. In terms of people, Osaka people tend not to follow rules such as speaking on the phone while on the train, cutting in line when the train approaches and if you bump into someone else I haven't heard that many "Sumimasen or gomen nasai". But, then again, everyone has a different story to tell.

I've been here for two weeks and this is what I feel; Osaka is dirty, rude, straight-forward whereas Tokyo is clean and fake. I say fake because they'll never tell you how they feel about something. They'll just take it in and move on with their lives whereas Osaka people or Kansai people will definitely let you know how the feel about something in particular.

Nonetheless, I'm enjoying it down here and hope to stay here for a while.

work

My new job comes with lots of new challenges: classroom management, lesson planing including but not limited to Social studies, Math, Science and English. Last Thursday I had the chance to cover for a K-1 class and I have to say, even though I was nervous, I had a great time being with the children. They also seemed to have a good time. We spoke about Spain and different countries. We also made the classroom flag (Go Penguins!)

So far I'm super excited with what this company has to offer. It's overwhelmingly high the teachers with an educational background. My previous job: I believe I was the only one with a background in Education. 

I feel like a complete beginner but that's good as I'm getting motivated day by day. This coming week is "Mad about Science". I've already have some ideas for what to do the entire week. 

Thank you Osaka and thank you new company!
