Tokai Cowboys!

Another happy day in Ireland! Today the horse riding group started their activity. Even though it was their first day, they were able to get on horseback. The other groups went sightseeing in the afternoon. The groups that are doing sailing and golf do that in Week 3 of the programme. This week is the turn of the Tokai Cowboys!

They even jumped!

A Good First Day

We are very happy to report that things went very smoothly today. The boys gathered at 0800 for a placement test where their levels were checked. then they were divided into a number of different classes for their morning English lessons. Everybody enjoyed their lessons and the school is full of many different nationality students. The boys take a break at 1030 to have a snack, then they have another lesson until 1200 when they eat their lunch. In the afternoon they divided into three groups and went sightseeing. Two groups went into Dublin city centre and one group went on a walking tour of Malahide. Everyone enjoyed themselves and by the evening were tired. They are now back at home with their host families. The group have made a very good first impression on everyone here. They are smiling a lot and are making a good effort to mix with the other students. A GREAT START!

Widen Your World!

This great man has widened the world for hundreds of Tokai boys over the past 11 years. Here he is arriving in Ireland where he is a NinkiMono called TATZ! Everybody knows him in Malahide and Marlborough. He is a real Ambassador for Japan and for Tokai. Without him none of this would have been possible. Thank you to Mr. Tatsuya Ito.

Safe in their Irish Homes!

After their long journey the boys have met their host families and are now resting in their new environment. Everybody is well and happy (but of course tired). Tomorrow will be a busy and exciting day - the first real day of the course at the Irish College of English.
