Nakashibetsu Yuki Matsuri







So today, I ditched work. Yeah, but it was for a good reason today! I went to see my kids work very hard on their snow sculptures. I'll be going to the Sapporo Yuki Festival this weekend, so I'll miss my town's festival. So this way, I can show my students that I care about what they do, and I'm not just an English teacher.

My student's noticed me right off. I felt like a celebrity (it's about time). I got a ton of "WHOA!" and "Andy-sensei da!" It was amazing, I'm not going to lie.

There were a bunch of junior high schoolers running around, but the hardest workers there were the elementary kids. God bless them! They really wanted to build their sculptures.

I think that building snowmen is a dieing art, but the Japanese definitly keep the art alive, AND they level it up by making giant snow sculptures. Take a look!
