I don’t know if I posted about this or not, but a few weeks ago I was trained to teach Chibiko classes, which are the really young children, the two to four year olds. The lessons are comprised mainly of songs and games, and are really active. It’s 40 minutes of non stop action, which the kids may or may not join in with.
Anyway, I went to a place called Okamoto for my training. Because it was a place I had never been to before, I went early so I could walk around and have a bit of an explore. The part of Okamoto I ended up in was three blocks between the Hankyu and JR railway stations. The whole area was small and narrow paved streets with many tiny shops lining them. It was totally different to anywhere I’d been in Japan. Initially I thought Okamoto was pretty cool, but if you wander out of the three block radius you realise it’s just another big city, and the illusion is shattered.
However, Okamoto did have one thing going for it. I was wandering along a street lined with what appeared to be houses, when I noticed this gem standing in someone’s backyard.
Not only does that look like lego, it is lego. Amazing.
