Working in a Japanese preschool there are often times I forget that I'm in a foreign culture and not my own with a bunch of little kids. Through my experience working in various countries I've learned that although every culture is unique and different, children all behave like children and before they've learned specific cultural behaviors they really are very similar.
And then there are moments like these, where one of my students spends the morning building a giant robot from blocks and speaking in a robotic voice and then I suddenly feel thrown back into Japan and I love it for how special and silly this memory will be.
