Spot the Difference!

The group looking relaxed and happy after three weeks in Ireland. Fresh air, fun, friendship and a lot of memories to last a lifetime! They were a great group who did a great job and they can be proud of themselves. Thanks to them all and to their parents for making it possible.

CONGRATULATIONS!

Many congratulations to the boys who used their Irish phones, didn't lose them, kept the boxes and chargers and returned them ALL to me. Great job!

The Mobile Generation

When we got to the airport today to check in there was a long queue. We had to wait about 40 minutes. But no problem! Everyone was quickly on their mobiles killing the time, quite happily Facebooking, playing games, sending messages to each other and their friends in Japan etc. Amazing to think that the first years we did these trips hardly any of the boys had a mobile. Life has changed for sure. Welcome to the 21st century. Of course there are times when we don't want the students to use these devices but they're great for a moment like that.

Thank you, Malahide.

Many thanks to the home stay families who gave our boys such a warm welcome. They were sad to say good bye.

Thank you, Tsukky!

A warm thanks to Mr. Tsukiyama who spent the last week with the boys. He is going back to Japan now to enjoy his vacation. Otsukaresamadeshita!

 

No More Sandwiches!

One thing that the boys may not miss so much is the daily sandwich. I think they need some Japanese cooking!

Nice People

The last day of lessons

Today was the last day of lessons. The boys enjoyed signing shirts with all their friends. They will be a nice souvenir of their happy time in Ireland.

ONIGIRI!!! At Last!

Two weeks is too long to go without ONIGIRI!!!! Everyone was very happy to have an emergency rice ball delivery yesterday!

Miles of Smiles

Taking a break

Morning break time is always good for making friends.
