Trash while carousing

Out for a goodbye party with my taiko group, weaving between the streets... oh, hey, there's some trash.

ONE GOOD DEED: Pick up trash while pub-crawling.

Massive great big pile of PET bottle caps

I just got back from camp. We went through plenty of PET bottles, and guess who managed to save the caps?

ONE GOOD DEED: Recycle the camp's PET caps for charity--goes toward medicine for children in developing nations.

Volunteering at HEC Camp

From today till the 29th I will be volunteering at an English summer camp for junior high and senior high school students. HEC (Hokkaido English Challenge) is one of the best things I have done as a teacher here in Hokkaido, and I am happy that I can finish my time here with one final camp.

SIX DAYS OF GOOD DEEDS: Volunteer at an English camp.

Last trash in Onishika

Today was my last class in Onishika (actually my last class, period). Once more, for old time's sake...

ONE GOOD DEED: Pick up trash on the way to work.

Parting gifts for the adult class students

Today was the last class with the adult students. We had a party with lots of delicious food and drinks, goodbye speeches, and parting gifts. My students gave me a set of Japanese jinbei (sort of like pajamas), and a magnificent album with all their photos and parting messages.

ONE GOOD DEED: Give away parting gifts to my students.

Trash and parties

So many goodbye parties! I'm about to collapse, but I'm also extremely happy. Tonight I partied with the folks that used to be in my office before they transferred away. I was so happy to hang with them one last time.

ONE GOOD DEED: Pick up trash between bars while hitting the nightlife.

Drawing my friends' faces

When I mentioned the horrible failure of a monster of a portrait that I drew the other day, two more of my friends requested drawings. We drew each other and came up with hilarious results.

ONE GOOD DEED: Draw my friends' faces as a parting gift.
