Foreign Friday

As I mentioned in an earlier Foreign Friday post, my first classroom in Japan was located in an old barracks. The sidewalk which connected two outbuildings to the main school was located on top of the steam pipes. When repairs were being made, it created a surreal scene.

These pipes leaked steam off and on throughout the year, so I grew accustomed to walking through the clouds.

    My girls went to school in Japan but it was on the Navy base in Yokosuka in the late 80's.
