You could come to gunma and fill in for me at my jr high. I'll plan all the lessons, you just go through them and tell the JTE to translate. Haha, just joking. I wouldn't worry too much about not having anything to do when your friend is in school. Everything will be so new and foreign to you that just walking around town or going to the store will be an adventure. You don't need to buy anything either. The sights and sounds will probably be entertaining enough.
