Nemo`s visit to Tamadai Meguro (My Homestay Koki`s high School)

On Thursday and Saturday, I experienced what it was like to sit inside a japanese school for 2 full days. It was very difficult as all the classes i attended were all in japanese apart from English. English was very funny as the English teacher Mr Phill was an amusing teacher from England who often made funny jokes in the class that made everyone laugh. On the first day i went, i had to walk around the school with two teachers and introduce myself to many different classes around the school and introduce myself to each class in japanese and english. It was very fun as the students made me feel welcomed by smiling, waving and clapping every time i walked into a different class. Then i had to answer questions that certain classes asked me, gladly in english. As i walked around the school at lunch times, many people introduced themselves to me and said hello. Some classes, i went with some teachers out of school and visited things like the museum and buddah temples. During school, i also met all the teachers and i had to introduce myself to the whole staff in both english and japanese. The teachers were very welcoming as they each took turns to look after me during the classes i didnt attend. When I left the school on the first day, i met alot of new people and made friends with them. I played soccer at lunch with koki and all his many friends who made me feel welcomed. It was amazing to see many people with anime styled hair.
On the second day of school i studied in Japanese, maths and geography. In Japanese i recieved a present from the teacher which was a famous japanese book translated into english. In geography, i had to get up in front of the class and talk about New Zealand. Then I had to ask the class questions about Japan, then i had to answer questions they asked me about New Zealand. The questions they asked included "What is the population", and "What is the climate like"and one boy asked "Which girls do you like out of New Zealand and Japanese girls." The schools in Japan are really big, this school being 5 stories. I was interviewed by many teachers and talked to them about New Zealand, it was very interesting. The staff often took me to places out of school during subjects i didnt attend. I also went to the ramen shop with koki and his friends and had ramen for lunch. I have had a good experience in japanese school, and have liked the fact that everyone is kind and caring towards others. An example of kindness is when someone in the class presented me with a souvenior which was a picture that was drawn for me. Some of the people i have met have been with me to places after school, for example the festival i went to with some of kokis friends, and the arcade i went to with other of kokis friends. They took me around and told me taught me much about Japan.
