One of the joys of homeschooling is the opportunity to appreciate your surrounding. My kids have the privilege of watching fish and ducks by the river behind our house. This is a long-river that stretches like Alabang-Zapote Road (for those who are from the south part of Manila). You would be so amazed that a river like this in a city is super clean, kids swim here during summer and fishing is done all year round. It has a good bicycle and walk paths on both sides of the river. There are also vegetable farms near our place. Some farmers would set up a table with their produce, a box or a bowl for payment, these vegetable booths are unmanned, buying, paying and getting change is on honesty system...how ironic to think that most Japanese are not even Christians but they are Christian-like in their ways.
