Day 718: October 20, 2023 Friday – Tomamae x Rishirifuji Obira Roadside Station Toilet break at Obira Roadside Station Tomamae Commercial High School 10.20.23 Rainy skies didn’t dampen our spirits as we set out for Rishirifuji. Unlike my usual school visits to Tomamae, today I headed to Tomamae Commercial High School , where my JTE, Matsushita-sensei, and fellow ALT, John, had planned a post-work excursion. On my way there, I made a brief stop at Obira Roadside Station in the town of Obira ( 小平町 ) for a quick toilet break.  Matsushita-sensei made this plan Matsushita-sensei even drove to the ferry port in Wakkanai. After a morning of teaching, which included a lively session of speaking games with the third-year students, our journey began in earnest. Matsushita-sensei drove us north to Wakkanai City ( 稚内市 ) , where we boarded the Heartland Ferry to Oshidomari Port in Rishirifuji ( 利尻富士町 ) .  As for my car, Ruru , I left it at Matsushita-sensei's place.

Week 103: October 16 – 20, 2023 Day 714: October 16, 2023 Monday – Rumoi (Special Non-Working Day) Today was such a refreshing day filled with both responsibilities and leisure. Because the teachers in Rumoi High School had to work last Saturday for the school's 100th-anniversary celebration, we were given today as a free day. Finally, a chance to catch up on some much-needed sleep!  The day started with a soft patter of rain outside, making it the perfect excuse to spend a cozy day at home with my family. However, we also had some important tasks to complete. So, after a leisurely breakfast, we set out on our small adventure. First stop for the day - Heartful The staff of Heartful were really friendly and accommodating to us. Our first stop was Heartful , where we needed to submit the necessary files for my wife's maternity benefits. It felt good to have that crossed off the list, knowing we were taking care of necessary paperwork for our growing family. Rumoi Industrial Hall...
