Howard Ahner arrived in Japan in April, 1989. He has been teaching English until the present.
We had a lot of fun at Heisei Youchien in Kawaminami during the 1990's.
Teaching kids in Japan is really fun!
Nene's first few days at Heisei Youchien were quite an experience for her. She has adjusted well.
The youth of Nobeoka are developing just fine.
Teaching at a private school in Nobeoka was quite an experience.
I have the biggest face in Nobeoka.
We did well in Matsuyama Cho, Nobeoka.
Some years ago at Matsuyama Cho, Nobeoka...
I'd love to see more benches in Japan.
What did the grandlady say when she jumped off of the bridge? She said, "HiiiiiiiiBaChan!"
I told you they spoke English in Nobeoka a long time ago.
Let me tell you what's new in Nobeoka.
