Lena's last day at school!

So first stop in Japan was to meet Lena (Jeanette's sister) and stay with her for a few days. Lena has been teaching english on the JET programme in Japan for the past 3 years and is finishing up this year. So Lena took us to school one day, which happened to be her last day at Yakami high school.





It was great to go to one of Lena's school and see what her life has been like in Japan for the past 3 years. Its clear that the kids love her.


Lena gave a speech to all the staff and students in the morning. The school brass band even played "Danny Boy" for her, which they had learned in only one day! See the video below.

We had a great time at school and were absolutely exhausted when we came home.
