Second day. I step into the class and the board is COVERED with graffitti. In katakana, I see ''Yokoso Andy sen-sei.'' And there's happy faces, moons, and stars...geez! And I hear voices behind me, ''Andrew sen-sei...Andy sen-sei! Do you know Naruto? Do you like sports?'' These kids, who never saw me before are SO interested in me. I don't know why...but I am flattered. I sat down with them for lunch, and all of the sudden, a line forms behind me. There were about 20+ kids wanting my autograph. I look at their faces...and they were SO stoked that I was going to write in their notebook or pencil cases. And they got pretty pissed if I forgot to write my signature ''happy face'' on it. So I had to draw my happy face on everybody.
After lunch...we had recess! RECESS! I never thought I would get to do recess ever again! All the kids wanted to hold my hand to escort me outside. It was overwhelming, but I enjoyed every minute of it. But the entire time, I am thinking, ''Why do these kids like me so much. I just showed them a bunch of pictures and talked to them.''
We played tag. Some Oni game, which translates to demon or ogre, I think. It was great reliving my childhood.

Hi Andy! Glad you are having a lot of fun in Japan. I bet the kids are sooo cute :) Now you are very popular like a super star. I can imagine clearly abt you and the kids having fun together. Are you speaking with them in Japanese too? Hope you have a good day today too! SD is getting a bit cooler.
