Nippon Koku Koko (Japanese Aviation Academy)

Here are some pics of the school Nippon Koku Koko (JAA) where I teach English.
Here is the view of the school from across the airstrip where students learn about flying planes, aircraft mechanics, general auto mechanics, being a flight attendant, and many other such things (there is even a dance school here!).

Viewing tower from which to watch the planes take off and land

Me in front of the school (with some of my students clowning behind me:)

A Neko (cat) Bus!! For those of you who have seen the Japanese anime movie "My Neighbour Totoro" by the director Hayao Miyazaki this little cat bus will be very familiar to you. Well at the JAA they have created a REAL neko bus. Remember your childhood misadventures with papermache? Well, this is a papermache masterpiece over a real, working van. During the school festival you can go for a ride within this adorable neko bus. Kawaii!! (cute)

I really know nothing about old planes. But, for those who are interested, here are some pictures of some old Japanese planes that are displayed throughout the school campus.

I like how all the school buildings are painted up in the school colours - bright red and blue.

Between my classes I sometimes like to wander behind the school and walk across and old, rusted metal bridge...
To look out over the rice fields, stretching out into the distance.

Well, that's a little tour of the Japanese Aviation Academy. I hope you enjoyed peeking into my life into Japan. I will post some more pics from the other schools I teach at later.
