Wed, 17 Mar 2010 08:25:16 +0000 http://shibuya246.com/?p=8715#comment-17153 I used to work at an elementary school in Saitama. The fire department held a "safety day" at our school. They brought a so-called smoking tent, and had the children crawl through it with their seat cushions over their head (all the kids have removable seat cushions on their desk chairs that split open on two sides forming a kind of pocket they can put over their head to protect them from falling ashes and debris). In America, I am sure parents would be freaking out that we were "traumatizing" their kids and causing potential harm to their health. But the kids took it well and were suprised at how disorienting the smoke could be. Then the firemen brought out fire extinguishers that had been filled with water and pressurized. They taught all the sixth graders how to operate them, and gave them the chance to hit a target with them. The other children watched on attentively. I think this was a great experience for them, and wish I had received similar training at that age. I think that even adults are not sure how to handle a fire emergency, and would benefit from such training! I used to work at an elementary school in Saitama.

That`s one of the main things that I miss about Japan - all the great stuff in the conbini. I love the interesting Kit-Kats they come out with. Not a big fan of the dried squid especially the smell.

But going through Marine corp boot camp, part of our basic training was to experience the effects of tear gas. they marched everybody ito the building. It had a barrel in the middle where the dropped a tear gas pellet in it. We had our gas masks on at first, then they made us remove the masks. And talk about burning sensation, then they made us sing the the Marine corps hymn with the masks off. That's something I wouldn't wish on anyone.
