6th grade class "mini" reunion (Kenichiro Ikari)

It is always nice to see old friends. This summer, since most of my Japanese School's (which I went when I was used to live in America) 6th grade class members were living at Tokyo, and our Teacher was having a vacation at Tokyo, we planned to have a class reunion. But it was a "mini" reunion, because there were only half of the class due to the scheduling issue.

Lots of my classmates came back to Japan after graduating elementary school (6th grade, like in Japan), so it had been about 6 years at the longest. It was funny how some people changed. I thought 6 years were not that long of time, but when I saw them changed, I thought I'm getting old. I also thought I didn't change since then, but everybody said that I did.

Who actually didn't change was our Teacher. She is about 60 years old, and she is still teaching in same school. She was married to American man, but he passed out after few years after we graduated her class. I used to talk about our pet dogs and books back then, and we did talk about it that day too. I felt something nostalgic that time.

We went to Odaiba, where there is a festival called "Odaiba Boukenou" around Fuji television building. We went up the building, and saw lots of things. It was near ocean, so the view from the building was great! Our teacher got excited because it was about 10 years since last time she came to Japan, and it was her first time going up the Fuji television building. After that, we went to see Tokyo Sky Tree. It was really huge, but we didn't have chance to go up of it.

Me and My teacher

What makes you feel like "I want to go back to elementary school (or middle/high school)"? Mine was this day. I really felt that "we came back together".
