Japanese Students, Googly Eyes, Fun and Creativity: Father`s Day Cards in Japan

Howdy! Now, I usually don`t talk about my work on this blog but this week I couldn't resist. Every month we have one week dedicated to a special event. They range from Christmas to Halloween to International week to Valentines Day. This month we celebrated Father's day! We had students make cards using googly eyes and their own artistic abilities! I hope you enjoy their artwork and if you're a teacher feel free to try this next year!

Happy Father's Day to all of you out there!

67 images to Pique your interest in the Island of Immortals: Okinawa, Japan

South of the mainland of Japan lies a chain of islands tucked gently within the oceans Embrace. It was once known as the island of immortals, then the RyuKyu Kingdom but now goes by the name of Okinawa. Here are a series of photo's from amateur photographers located in Okinawa. Most of these photo's were taken in places that aren't overrun with tourists so if you are looking for the tourist traps you've come to the wrong place. The goal of this post is to show all of you out there in the interwebs a few glimpses of the island that we all love. If you're from/living in Okinawa please feel free to post your own photo's or blog-link in the comment section!
