School lunch

On Tuesday, I had my first day of classes and my first day at an elementary school. It was all very confusing because I had not met with the teachers beforehand. I later realized that my schedule indicated which textbook and lesson I was supposed to help with, but I have received so many textbooks that they all blurred together. Anyway, after two classes, I went back to the main office and tried to look busy. Suddenly, there was a flurry of activity as teachers came in to grab some kind of clothing. The students were doing the same in the hallway. Within a minute the varied and colorful clothing had turned into sterile white lab coats, white masks, and white gloves. They were preparing lunch.

The lunch itself came in three or four metal pans. We had curry rice, miso soup, and some kind of weird dairy drink. It was somehow both sweet and sour at the same time and completely incomprehensible to me until someone explained it was 'yogurt'.

Anyway, that's enough of that, here's a picture of my daily commute:
