Tarama

Tarama is a Miyako Island that I go to twice a semester for one week. This past week I taught at the middle school. Next time, I'll be at the elementary school.

Anyway there's a total of 48 students at Tarma JHS. I can't really compare these students to the other JHS students for some reason... I thought they would be sheltered? Not really.

I stayed at a place called Yume Patio. Pretty nice.

Went riding my bike around the island. Stopped to take a picture of some cows when three dogs start barking at me from inside the gate.... so I sloooowwly start peddling away and the dogs followed me through the gate.. then I see the dogs go away, only to see them going AROUND the gate! The gate wasn't even enclosed! By then I'm having a panic attack and slowly turn my bike around as the dogs are coming closer to me. I debated playing dead, but I remembered that's only for bears.

anyway I probably gained 2kilos from this trip, all they do is eat.

Couldn't have been happier to go "home" to MiyakO!

Halloween!
