A typical Japanesee classroom. Items of interest: They write on their desks- in marker- and noone cares. There's a tv in the corner on that dangerous-looking TV stand, and nobody's sued. You can't see it from here, but there's a platform at the front of the class that makes us teachers nine feet tall, and puts me in grave danger of knocking myself out on that low-hanging white light fixture above the chalkboard. Cool fact: All the chalkboards are magnetic.
