What Do Japanese Kindergarteners Think of Lattes and Donuts for Breakfast?
What everyone should know about healthy eating
There is an American video creator I follow, who is also an English teacher in Japan. I love his content for his foreigner-living-in-Japan stories, as I find his humor and insights relatable.
If you surf through his posts on Instagram, you will quickly find that there is an ongoing joke within his classroom, which he refers to as “caramel latte”. The children go absolutely bonkers when it comes up, and apparently it has been a source of chaos in the morning multiple times.
According to his video, “caramel latte” started on one of his first days teaching, when he walked into the classroom with a sweet caramel latte drink and donut for breakfast. Bought on his way to school, it was something he was used to eating back in the United States for breakfast, and a tradition he brought to Japan with him.
Well, the children went absolutely bonkers at this revelation.
“Too much sweets!”
“Mr. Patrick again???”
