Lonely

Hey everyone. As you have probably 

noticed we don't get many comments 

on this blog. (Except from Masa! 

Thanks Masa, you are awesome!!!!!) 

We would really like to see a few more 

questions and comments if you have 

them, and if you are too shy to write, 

please click the interesting button if 

you enjoy a post. We are feeling like 
almost no one reads the blog anymore.

Have a good one

Enjoy the weekend everyone!
Looks like there is going to be storms for the next few days.
Check out the fire flies if you have time.
See you next week.
:P

Golden week

It's golden week!

The school will be closed from May 1st

and will open again on Tuesday May 10th.

Enjoy your holidays and stay safe.

Thank you!!!

I just want to say thank you so much to all of the wonderful students here at rle for all the cards and letters and presents I received this past week!! I was very surprised and touched that so many of you wanted to give me something to say good-bye. Thank you for all of your support and kindness as I embark on a new chapter in my life. Best of luck in all of your future English endeavors. :D

I also want to say a special thank you to my rle family for all of their support over the last few years and I look forward to making many more happy memories together!

Love Love,
Rachel

Sorry

We changed the date of the Hanami party because of the missing Sakura! haha We will now meet on Sunday the 10th. For this reason we had to also change the poll question. So, if you already voted please vote again, this time for the 10th. Thanks so much and sorry for this inconvenience.

~ Yours truly,

RLE teachers

HANAMI

Next Sunday (April 10th) RLE will be having

a cherry blossom party on "Ibaraki Sakura Dori"

Please bring some food to share

and something to sit on if you can.

We will be there from 11am

until it gets too cold or we get sleepy.

(If it's raining it will be canceled of course)

If you want to come please let us know

next time you see us at school

and we will give you a phone number to call

so you can find us on the day.

(It was very busy last year

and the group was difficult to find.)

We hope to see everyone there!!!

Hello students, hello friends!!

As many of you may already know, this will be my last 3 days here at rle. :'( For those students that I unfortunately missed last week and didn't get a chance to say I was leaving, I am sorry and hope that I will get to see you during this short week! I'm not leaving Japan so don't worry, I'm sure we can meet again. I was offered a private high school position nearby that I could not refuse. Please keep practicing your English so we can catch-up the next time we meet. :D

I went to Singapore!

Singapore was too hot for me. Did you know it is summer all year long! Unbelievable!! I could NOT handle that, I need the cold. :) I visited Singapore's famous zoo.

These guys were my favorite animals in the zoo. Their faces are sooo human-like! I find it fascinating and creepy at the same time; just look at the nose!!

After a very tiring day at the zoo, I went to the Night Safari. The best thing about the night safari was that it was colder at night :) haha Did I mention that I hate heat?

After a very long and tiring day spent with animals I went to the newly opened Universal Studios Singapore for some fun. Despite the fact that I was very sick and threw-up 4 times throughout the day, it was fun to see how it compared to Japan.

The Madagascar area was by far my favorite; although the Shrek Far Far Away area was also a highlight for me. There was a song and dance show put on by the Madagascar main cast! Here is a photo from that show.

Come join us!

Valentine's Day is less than a week away!

Happy early Valentines from your RLE teachers!
Don't forget to show someone special you care :)

Bowl-A-Rama

Don't forget about bowling this Friday (Feb 11th)

At TT Bowl (Near Hankyu Ibaraki) from 3pm.

Please come along if you can,

and bring your friends!

More people will mean more fun.

Thanks guys!!

Rachel's New Year's Holiday

I had a nice and relaxing holiday in Osaka with some friends :D

I tried osechi with snow crab and lobster-like prawns.
It was SO delicious!!

For breakfast I tried mochi soup.
It was not so delicious.

I tried going to a shrine in Ibaraki but the wait time was around 2 HOURS so I decided not to wait. Instead I went to an unpopular shrine in Kyoto on another day.

This shrine was built similarly to Ise shrine in Mie.

There was this awesome rock that you could walk through for good luck!
It was really cool.

What did you do for New Year's??
Share some of your activities in the comments below :)
