Students on a Field Trip

This is a picture showing students taking down notes from their instructor during a field trip in the Okayama prefecture, Japan.

Dangerous Schooling

An elementary school in Beijing requires children to clean the windows as routine task every Wednesdays. "Students climb out the classroom window, standing on a 10 centimeter (less than 4 inches) wide platform and clean the windows without any safety protection. Some windows are as high as 3 stories." The school officials say this is their way of shaping their students will and bravery.

Gifts from other people

we have been very pleased with people coming to stay with us. We have been hosting students and travelers from other countries like China, Taiwan, Japan, Korea, Spain, Mexico, Germany etc., and they would bring us presents when they arrive. We have been lucky to get nice and well behaved people to occupy our suites downstairs and it has been pretty rewarding experience. We don't really expect any gifts but it seems that it is customary for them to bring gifts to their host families. Yesterday, another 16 year old Japanese girl arrived and she's very pleasant and polite. My goodness me! She brought us 2 bags full of presents and goodies from Japan and I must say we were very surprised!

Business at home suggestions

I have 4 homestay students in our basement suite that generates $3K++ monthly and B&B on the other side for short stay travelers. This pays all the bills, it's a lot of work but well worth it. As I said in one of the discussions I've posted earlier, if you are a stay at home mom or dad and have spare room, you might want to do homestays too, to give you extra income.

Clinical Chemistry

Clinical Chemistry is one subject usually "feared" by students as they find it hard to understand the principles and theories of assays and biological reactions.
