Thomas in Japan: July 2012
http://tbinjp.blogspot.com/2012_07_01_archive.html
Serving at Kyoto International University Academy. Tuesday, July 3, 2012. June in Kyotanabe has brought with it true Japanese summer weather: rain, heat, and bugs. It has also brought other Japanese traditions with it, like Sports Day. What else has been happening? I took the bullet train up to Tokyo two weeks ago and got to spend the weekend getting to know Caitlin's family (see photo) a little bit better. I am now preparing for the end of the semester. My exams are on July 11th. All of them! Pray for e...

Serving at Kyoto International University Academy. Sunday, December 16, 2012. And another month has flown by, leaving me with a newsletter to write!

School festivals in Japan are a special time of year when students get to show their parents, relatives and community what they are able to do. Here's an interesting and informative article. On school festivals in Japan. The school festival theme. Runners at the marathon as our students cheer for th...

Thomas in Japan: February 2013
http://tbinjp.blogspot.com/2013_02_01_archive.html
Serving at Kyoto International University Academy. Tuesday, February 19, 2013. The chill in the air is still here in Kyoto. January has passed and it is cold! After staying in Tokyo as long as I could, I made my way back to Kyotanabe for teacher workdays. Winter semester has started, and I am almost done with my first full year of teaching at KIUA! School is still a bit of a challenge, but things are going well. The short winter term means that I have to start getting ready for next year already! Subscri...

Thomas in Japan: A fleeting February and a maniac March
http://tbinjp.blogspot.com/2013/04/a-fleeting-february-and-maniac-march.html
Serving at Kyoto International University Academy. Wednesday, April 3, 2013. A fleeting February and a maniac March. Hello friends and family,. It has been a while! My apologies for the lull in updates. Between school ending, days of endless grading and my computer becoming a very large paperweight, I regrettably did not send out a newsletter for February. Exchanging gifts for Valentine's Day. March came and left almost as quickly as February, but with lots more to do! Pray for my planning and lesson mak...

Thomas in Japan: January 2013
http://tbinjp.blogspot.com/2013_01_01_archive.html
Serving at Kyoto International University Academy. Wednesday, January 9, 2013. Winter is definitely here, the weather is chilly and my apartment is very cold! There is no central heating in Japan, and getting used to living without it has been a bit of a challenge for me. I do have a heating unit in my apartment, but it is not the best when it comes to raw heat. Christmas with the Essenburgs. This month, please remember these prayer requests:. That I can get acclimatized quickly to being back home in Kyo...

http://tbinjp.blogspot.com/2012_09_01_archive.html
Serving at Kyoto International University Academy. Friday, September 7, 2012. It turns out I ended up in one of the hottest spots in Japan! In the north of mainland Japan. I had a wonderful time hiking (see photo), swimming, and partaking in various Japanese summer traditions. Taking a break on a mountain hike at a Shinto shrine. Caitlin's mom showing us this summer's limited edition Pepsi flavor: Salty Watermelon. One of the fail-safe ways to cool off in the Japanese heat: ice cream! Last week, it was t...
