Saturdays

On Saturdays I work in a town called Araimachi at a farm called NL Farm. That's right I teach English at a farm. In the above picture you can see the view from the parking lot. The big building in the background is where the boat races are held- it is a very popular hangout for oyaji's (a term referring to an 'uncool' old guy- they love horse and boat races!)
The view from the other side is of Hamanako, the large lake that is a popular destination for travellers to the region.
Two weeks ago, one of the goats on the farm had a baby- he doesn't have a name yet but he is pretty cute.
The kids love playing with the animals and today a couple of the students had the pleasure of feeding this little guy. It was a pretty funny day!
