World Schooling in Tokyo
We’ve spent the last few months enjoying the rhythm of our daily life on Guam. After traveling so much at the beginning of the year, it felt nice to settle in. The kids were homeschooling and surfing and playing soccer and (most of all) enjoying the chance to play with their friends in the neighborhood. We went out on the boat as much as we could and saw turtles and sting rays and dolphins. Its been a nice, relaxing stretch at home.
But… we were also starting to get itchy feet, so when our neighbor told us about a trip to Tokyo set up by an organization of world schoolers, we got excited and asked if we could join in the fun.
So, here we are, in the Ueno neighborhood of Tokyo, with a week full of all kinds of activities ahead of us. This morning we’ll head out to meet seven other families from all over the world, play in the park, and go to the Nori Museum. Nori is one of Duke’s favorite foods, so it’s a highlight of the trip for him.
Last night we had kaiten sushi, so I’d say we’re off to a good start so far! More to come…
Would greatly life!
I meant to say, “What a great life!” 👌
😂We feel really lucky, Rhonda! Thanks!
Is Kaiten sushi a specialty? Hope you enjoy it all!
Kaiten sushi just means it’s sushi served on a conveyor belt or (in this case) on a mini-bullet train. Duke loves it!
The restaurant we went to the other day had individual ordering screens, so the kids could choose want they wanted, put the order in, and have it delivered by bullet train straight to their place at the sushi bar. What’s not to love? 😂
i love these photos! How amazing that you met up with “world schoolers” that you didn’t even know! That’s incredible! Will they keep meeting in different places? I didn’t know that nori was one of Duke’s favorite foods. I love it too! I am always getting the korean kind to snack on from costco.
This organization hosts pop-up events all over the world, so families can choose which events they want to go to. On our second day of the trip we found a Nori shop with scrumptious looking food. But unfortunately, the hotel house-keeping mistook the bag of nori for trash and threw it away a few days later. You win some, you lose some. Hopefully we’ll get a chance to try again sometime.
oh that hurst to much to hear about the house-keeping! I’m thinking they went home and ATE IT! hahahaha!!! I mean, Japanese housekeeping isn’t going to make a mistake like that. They know nori when they see it! That is good to know that kind of a mistake can happen!!! I’d put that stuff in your hotel safe going forward. 🤣
