Andrew + Japan = Awesome

As I think most of you know, my new job is predominantly teaching children. The company I works for thinks that children enjoy seeing their teachers wear funny outfits on holidays (something my experiences don’t agree with) so all four of us teachers had to wear a santa suit for the week leading up to Christmas in the Kids and J1 classes (We go up to J3).

The suit came with a beard, but whenever I put it on I couldn’t breathe properly, and it was annoying. So I didn’t wear it. My lack of a beard wasn’t ever mentioned, so I assumed it was ok. The whole suit was made out of felt, and I quickly managed to rip the seam of the pants, which I fixed with my awesome sewing skills. After wearing the suit for a week I could see through parts of the pants, and all my shirts were covered in red fluff that had fallen off the suit, it wouldn’t have lasted much longer than a week, but it was only 420 yen from the 100 yen store. (I know, paradox)

So without further ado, here are the only four photos in existence of Andrew dressed as a beardless Santa. And yes, I’m posing.

Never again.
