Another finish: Today was my last day assisting with the English department of Fukagawa High School. I can't believe I neglected to take photos today! Maybe it was because today was the last in a series of high-pressure oral conversation assessments, run with a strict eye to the stopwatch. I have really enjoyed this little part-time job. But I have not so much enjoyed the commute:
So I have mixed feelings about the job coming to an end. I will however definitely miss this particular corner near the school:
And how's this for a potential finish? (I don't think I could or would!)

My daughter and her family live in Idaho (too far from Long Island in my opinion)! I am going to send her a link to this...she will get a laugh from that!
Cynthia, I imagine they are calling it "The Idaho Burger" because of the hash-brown potato patty in the middle? I'M from Idaho, and my son lives in Japan (I totally win the too-far-away contest, Colleen!) He loves to go up to Tokyo from Yokosuka, I will ask him to look for the Idaho Burger sign.
The Gala Quilt is just too fabulous for words, I'm so glad it raised a lot of money. I hear the subway system is worse than in NYC - you're in the perfect position to answer that!?
Oooh! So glad I have found another wonderful Quilty blog. That top quilt is just wonderful. I am now going to have a really good look around your blog. Are Japanese quilts different to American ones? xCathy
Thanks Chrissie! The subway system here is worse in the sense that it is vastly more complicated and sometimes crushingly crowded, but is it so very very clean and modern, and the trains run on time to the minute. My daughter says that compared to Tokyo the NYC subway is "easy but gross" - ha ha.
Ah yes of course Marti! Potatoes aren't a staple here - I buy them in packages of four tiny potatoes, or singly.
Catherine, let's just say that Japanese quilters have taken quilting quite "to the next level" and that's an understatement!
