Jottings of Japan

Never really thought of myself as a blogger before... but it seems to be the trend of late, so I thought I'd give it a go. Apologies in advance for the boring content you will endure as I capture my life in size 10 Arial font (for the most part, anyway). So without further ado, Let's blogging!

Clever Nuts!

Yesterday was the Induction Ceremony at the Nursery School. Azuma has a brand new Nursery School, and it's amazing. Spacious, cute, comfortable... It's called Chienomi, and when I asked someone if it had meaning, they said not really, but translated it roughly for me. It translates as "clever nuts". When I told them that was the perfect name and explained the meaning it has in English, they all laughed at the appropriateness of it.

The nursery school bought a grand piano from Yamaha, and so two teachers from the local Yamaha school came and performed yesterday. They also brought STAGEA with them, so we were treated to a small performance.

The kids were so cute, and they seem to love the new building. It should be fun to teach there.

Um, it's either an Australian thing, or I just don't know English, but what does clever nuts mean? Help me, Granto-Sensei!
