Happy Valentines Day! Vday in Japan is a concept I covered pretty well last year as well as in my second book which is coming this Fall. If you’d like to learn more about this holiday in Japan, please check these posts!
This year will be my first away from school. I’m traveling with some elementary students to Niigata prefecture as part of a yearly exchange with a small town there. Our 14 students will get to see snow for the first time and see what life is like on the mainland of Japan. In return, their students visit during the summer and get to see great places throughout Kumejima including Hateno Beach. We leave early this morning and I’ll be live tweeting parts of the trip, which you can follow here or on twitter with #2013NakasatoTrip
