I once weighed over 140 kg, and I was often scared to sit down in one of these little chairs.
I'm sure that these shoes have long since been discarded. This picture was taken in the mid 1990's.
Megumi Sensei was a fine teacher at Heisei Youchien in the late 1990's.
Shoko Sensei was always so kind to the children of Heisei Youchien in Kawaminami Cho, Japan
We made "slime" at Heisei Youchien, Kawaminami Cho, Japan
Nanako was always friendly. She was a very good student.
They want to watch the tadpole eggs hatch, so they're gathering a few in a local rice field.

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.
