Teaching Traveling: Welcome to Jill Dobbe, a mother who is running a school in Honduras.
Jill, tell us about your background and how you got into teaching and school administration overseas with your family.
Jill: When I first began teaching overseas I took along my husband and two children. My husband and I were both teachers at the time and were both excited and interested in teaching overseas.
Our first experience abroad ended up to be Guam, which we had barely ever heard of before. We ended up packing up our things, including our children (a one and two year old), and from there, began a decade worth of teaching overseas in four countries: Guam, Singapore, Ghana, and Mexico.
Our children grew up overseas, completing all of their elementary years in different American and international overseas schools.
We hopped around a lot usually staying 2-3 years in one school. However, we did teach in Accra, Ghana, for five years and it was one of the best times for our family. I guess we wanted to see as much of the world and the different cultures as we could while we were abroad.
We actually never knew how long it would all last and after 10 years of life overseas we did move back to Wisconsin, USA, for seven years. During that time, my husband and I taught in the Wisconsin public schools, while earning our Masters' in Educational Leadership with the intent of going back overseas again one day, but as administrators.
TT: Fascinating! I had a wonderful time teaching in Ghana, too. Where in the world are you working now?
J: Since earning our Masters', we have worked in Egypt, India, and presently Honduras, as school administrators.
Our children have also since completed college and our daughter will be returning to Honduras with us and will begin her overseas teaching career as a high school Biology/Health teacher at the American School of Tegucigalpa.
It will be exciting for us to have her as a colleague after all of her years as a student abroad. Our daughter has actually gone full circle!
In addition, this past year I wrote and published my first memoir on teaching and traveling overseas entitled, HERE WE ARE & THERE WE GO: Teaching and Traveling With Kids in Tow. After living and working in seven different countries I felt that I had a lot of good stories to tell others who were teaching overseas or thinking about it, especially those who wanted to take their kids along. I wanted to let them know that it can be done and it is truly amazing at how much one can learn through children's eyes!
My book details stories of almost losing my children in the Plaka in Athens, Greece, my husband and son having guns pointed directly at them outside the presidential palace in Accra, Ghana, but also the happy times as we went on safari in South Africa, visited the night zoo in Singapore, and went diving in the Red Sea in Egypt.
TT: Wow! What impacted you the most while teaching overseas?
J: For me the most exciting parts of all of our travels was learning about and experiencing the different cultures we lived with.
The Chamorros of Guam was our first real experience living among another culture.
We learned all about the Chinese culture and their beliefs and superstitions in Singapore.
In Ghana we made everlasting friendships with our fellow Ghanaian teachers and travelled all over Ghana immersing ourselves in the Ghanaian way of life.
In Egypt, where we lived in the Middle East for the first time, we learned to respect the ways of the Muslim culture while we worked at a school that was predominately Muslim.
Also, as a result of becoming "citizens of the world," our children learned to respect diversity and enjoyed friends from all parts of the world.
Today, with Facebook, they still continue to connect with their friends that they knew in elementary school in Ghana!
TT: Love it! How has all your traveling influenced your teaching?
J: During our seven year stint in Wisconsin between teaching abroad and becoming overseas administrators, I made sure that I brought back what I learned from all the cultures that I lived with in order to teach my students, school, and community about what I learned.
As a result, with the encouragement of the school and my colleagues, I developed and organized a school and community-wide multicultural fair that was held in the local community hall. During the day, classes were transformed into various "countries" and students visited the "countries" carrying their handmade passports.
In the evening the whole town came together and celebrated different cultures with international foods, crafts, regalia, and entertainment. It was an exciting opportunity for me to teach my students, the parents, and the community about the world around them.
TT: What are some of your most memorable moments during all your world travels?
J: In my memoir, I have written about many of our experiences that occurred while we lived abroad.
We experienced so many unique travel adventures that I have a hard time pinpointing which ones were the "best."
I can say however, that they ran the gamut of feelings and emotions resulting in adventures that were scary, sad, downright crazy, and even quite hilarious at times (my memoir tells it all), especially the time my husband forced himself to eat a fat, white, squiggly grub, in order not to offend the villagers who offered it to him.
TT: Yikes! That's dedication to cross-cultural understanding. So, what advice do you have for teachers who dream of travel, or travelers who dream of teaching?
J: Teachers who work overseas today have it so much easier than when my husband and I first went abroad.
I am giving my age away, but when we first went overseas there were no cell phones, no iPods, and no computers with internet access. There was just good old overseas snail mail and landlines with long distance service (that is, if the electricity was on and your phone was working).
Today with Skype and Facebook the world has become so much smaller and new teachers can keep in close contact with their families at home. Being far away isn't so scary anymore!
That is just one of the reasons that I always encourage teachers to try the overseas life and teaching abroad, even if it is for just one contract.
The experiences that you will have, the people you will meet, and the things that you will learn will last a lifetime and you will never regret it.
My advice is to DO IT!
TT: Thanks so much, Jill!

Hi everyone…I stumbled across your website and am hoping you can point me in the right direction. I retired from the US Air Force four years ago and went into teaching. I have a degree and certification in Elementary Education with some endorsements for middle school math and English. I am starting my Master's and will have it finish in May 2014. I have a daughter who is 14 and will be starting her Sophmore year this fall. I would really love to teach overseas and my daughter wants to come. Where do I start looking for organizations/companies which will accept my daughter while I teach? Also, what other certifications do you recommend? I would love any advice on how to get started. Thank you.
Great questions, and exciting future trajectory! Poke around this site (there's a search box in the upper corner) and see if you can find people with similar paths!
Hi Roxanne,
I recommend going to one of the overseas hiring fairs and the best ones usually take place in Jan/Feb. Check out these websites: http://www.iss.edu and http://www.searchassociates.com.All schools need elementary teachers and since you are getting your Master's you won't have any problems finding jobs. Also, overseas schools usually pay tuition for one dependent per teacher. Just focus on what part of the world you want to go to.
Have you tried the Dept. of Defense Schools, yet? Since you were in the Air Force I believe that you would be hired right away.
Best of luck to you and your daughter!
Jill Dobbe
Hi! I am just now completing my TESOL certification online but I have ZERO teaching experience. I do have a Bachelor of Arts but it is in Media Studies with a concentration in Media Writing and a minor in dance. I would really like to teach abroad (and my husband would too, but he does not have a college degree), preferably in Europe but wouldn't mind South America, Asia or a few other places. I'm very open! I have a 10 month old son and that seems to be the hardest part. We would have to be able to afford to put him in daycare or have my husband stay home with him. Could you email me some suggestions of companies to look into? Any information on where to look or how to get the process started would be greatly appreciated! I love to travel and my goal is to go to every continent and TRY to make it to every country at least once. I know teaching abroad would be the perfect life for me and I'd love my son to experience multiple cultures and grow up very open minded. My email is email@example.com. Thanks in advance!!
Hi Whitney, your advice to Julia is right on. As far as educating our children, we always had them with us and I actually taught both of them when we were in Ghana. As you look around for other overseas teaching positions you will see that most schools allow one child's tuition per teacher. Our two children were enrolled for free in each school we were at because both my husband and I taught. In Singapore actually, they were both to young for our school so we enrolled them in a local daycare and it was fantastic for them. They even learned to sing songs in Mandarin Chinese. Also, after teaching for 10 years Dan and I went back to the U.S. and got our MA's in Educational Leadership and experience as principals. We then went back overseas as principals. That worked for us, but many schools also have professional development opportunities and will even pay for your schooling. It is also more acceptable now to earn a Master's online if your husband wants to go that route. Schools love couples and you both sound like you have enough experience and varied educational interests that will work in a lot of schools.
I hope that I helped a little. There are so many schools out there. Maybe pick an area where you want to go then look at their schools to see what their openings are.
Best of luck! I hope you enjoy the book and it was great hearing from you!
Wonderful, inspiring advice, Jill!
Jill, thank you so much for your story and your life. This is awesome. I, too, am living abroad with a young child; my son was born in Taiwan in 2010. My husband and I are both English teachers, and somehow we make it work. We're getting to the point where we will have to start thinking about schooling for our son in the next couple of years, as well as what comes next for us career-wise. How did you manage to keep your children educated while you moved to several different countries? Was it difficult to get them registered? Aren't American and international schools abroad expensive? I'm sure your book will be full of advice and stories on that subject, but I'd be grateful for some input. I would also be grateful for input regarding what direction to go in after such experiences. My husband is probably more interested in leadership and education law, politics, etc., while I am still interested in teaching, librarianship, writing and development.
To Julia in Brazil, you are not alone with your concerns. I will echo what Jill said and check out international job fairs. I would also suggest talking to your school about possible opportunities, and maybe doing a "test-run" with your son and volunteering abroad for the summer, to see if this is something you both want to do together. Keep in mind, some countries are more open to hiring teachers with dependents than others. We found in our experience that Taiwan was such a place. Just get out there, ask questions, don't be afraid to continue looking at this as a great opportunity for you and your son. Good luck to you, and we're all here for you!
HI , Whitney!!
Thank you very much as well for your warm words!! I would like so much to live in another country teaching and in peace with my son. I have a very good career in Brazil. I have my own place, job and a good wage as a private teacher. It´s not cause of money …since I ´m without my parents and now with just my son, I try to find in life reasons to go on. It was very hard to me to learn how to live without them, now, I´m fine about it, but sometimes or to be true, almost everyday I pray to God wishing something very good could happen to me. As they were alived I could not live abroad because i was the onle one who had taken care of them. Now, I can go, I can move, but i´m not so young anymore. I´m 36. Life is not an adventure anymore and I ´m responsible for my son. I can´t move without a certain wage to get montly…it´s much more difficult to live abroad than before, but it´s somehow possible now. I´ll keeping searching about. If it´s to be mine, mine it will be.
kisses from Brazil
I´m an English teacher in Brazil. I graduated in Languages by Itaúna University in the state of Minas Gerais in my country in 1998. Since then I have taught English to children, teenagers and adults. I have divorced for 4 years and I have a son. he´s 8. As my parents have died for over 6 years, my son is all I have. We live alone in our own apartament in a small city in Minas Gerais state in Brazil. For many years I have thought about living abroad. But as a single mother now with no one to support me I don´t know if it´s possible and secure for us to move abroad to work.
Please, maybe this site could be the answer why I turned on my computer today. It´s almost midnight here, and i could not sleep cause i was trying to figure out a different and exciting experience for my son and me!!!
Please, help me!!
Thanks for your passionate and inspiring comment! Keep looking and asking, because if you dream of working abroad, you can make it happen! I'd love to hear the advice and thoughts of other teacher-travelers in this community, too. Have hope! -
Hi Julia~As long as you are open and willing to try a new kind of life you will make it happen. Go online and look for international fairs. They are the best way to find a teaching job abroad. Keep looking and don't give up!
Thank you Jill for your warm words!!!
thank you so much for giving me hope on finding a teaching experience for our family! we want to teach abroad but feel lost when trying to find teaching situations that accept families. we have 2 young boys and i dream of living the life you have lived! my husband has a masters in adaptive special ed and and undergrad in history & education. he has been teaching for 7 years in the us public school system. here in the us he is in high demand as a teacher but we would need to be supported as a family overseas. i too have a bachelors degree in business administration but would be find staying home caring for the kids and/or homeschooling. do you have any suggestions as to where to start, how to find resources, etc? please feel free to email me info email@example.com
Hi Kendra, I'm glad this article gives you hope! There ARE jobs and resources out there for you, so keep searching and asking. Let us know what you find, and best of luck!
Hi Kendra~I hope that you received the info I sent and it was helpful for your family. Best of luck!

Scores of vehicles snared in Ohio highway pileups
MIDDLETOWN, Ohio (AP) — Blowing snow and slick roadways in various parts of the state on Monday set off multiple highway pileups, including one outside Cincinnati involving at least 86 vehicles that left a 12-year-old girl dead.
The crash on Interstate 275 near the Cincinnati suburb of Colerain Township was one of at least four pileups that snared dozens of vehicles. Officers were called to the scene shortly after 11:30 a.m. and discovered multiple chain-reaction collisions.
The 12-year-old girl had gotten out of a damaged vehicle and was standing in the median near a cable barrier, a type of fencing made of rope-like steel wire cables, the Hamilton County sheriff's office said. Another vehicle hit the barrier, snapping a cable, which then struck the girl and killed her, office spokesman Jim Knapp said.
At least 20 people were taken to hospitals, though their injuries were not expected to be life-threatening, the office said.
The interstate was shut down for hours with wreckage strewn across it, authorities said.
"It was just chaos, absolute chaos," Hamilton County sheriff's office Lt. Tory Smith told The Cincinnati Enquirer.
The sheriff's office said the crash remained under investigation, but it noted that inclement weather was a factor. Snow had been accumulating on the roadway, and there were reports of ice. Visibility was poor.
Parts of the state saw scattered snow showers on Monday, with isolated pockets of heavier snowfall.
As many as 50 vehicles were in a pileup on I-75, between Middletown and Monroe, in southwest Ohio. A dispatcher with the State Highway Patrol said minor injuries were reported in the accident, which occurred just before noon.
State Highway Patrol Sgt. James Russell told The Middleton Journal that snow falling at the time of the pileup caused "white-out conditions" and possibly triggered the first drivers to lose control and start the crash. Continued...
Witness Luke Stevens, of Van Wert, told the newspaper he was in a vehicle at the front of the pileup.
"It was complete ice all over the highway," he said.
Four semitrailers and about 20 cars were involved in an afternoon pileup on I-71 near Mansfield, the state patrol said. And lanes of I-270 were closed temporarily following a multi-vehicle crash near Columbus.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY and hope it is filled with joyful thoughts and all you wish for to be true.
Thanks again. I have tried puting a 0 on and it hasn't worked. It may be disabled on newer accounts. Could be people abused that feature or something. I guess if it bothers me I could always just write on their wall about it. Plus just write comments when I post.
Thanks. I do have a question, since I am still kinda new on Gasbuddy. How do people erase prices anyway? I see people put prices for grades that don't exist ar some stations and it would be nice to just erace the price. I have no interest in being a jerk to anyone, just want the right prices.
No worries 97gmc. There is no wool being pulled over my eyes and there is no pen-pal buddy relationship going on. Would never block anyone, would miss out on all the drama! I just try to keep honest prices and honest comments at stations that should have them.
Was it a Sarb free day? I seen nothing from him today.
Congratulations on having the dedication to post for 1,300 consecutive days. Keep up the Great Work and Good Luck in the future! Your buddy, Warren :-)
I just blocked him, thanks!

Good old fashioned entertainment
By Pinheaddude (47 reviews) from Maidenhead , 09 Dec 2011[Highly rated reviewer]
This is really a much more old fashioned Saturday morning adventure than your normal superhero movie. It sets the scene from the start with some good but not in your face special effects (skinny Chris Evans looks amazing) and (shock horror) gaves you characters to care about. The storyline is bit basic but it was nice to see no great character arc, he is a good man at the start and this continues. A grand finish and rather poignent ending make this one of the more enjoyable marvel flicks.- Was this review helpful to you?

Another Marvel marvel.
By a customer , 04 Apr 2013I've enjoyed all the Marvel and/or Avengers style titles that I've watched so far, and this is no exception. If you've enjoyed Thor, Iron Man (or any others of the same ilk) you should not be disappointed with this offering. I think my only criticism was the ending, which maybe could have been introduced a bit more smoothly. As it was, it happened too suddenly for me, and Captain America seemed to just go 'oh ok' and carried on. It may have been a bit more believable if they had put perhaps another 5 minutes into easing both the superhero (and the audience) into it more gracefully. Otherwise, a thoroughly enjoyable film.- Was this review helpful to you?

Many answered prayers and his faith in God were two of the biggest reasons Tom McChesney decided to open a new Sears Hometown Store in Woodlawn. But trending growth in Carroll County also helped back up his decision to move his business from Galax and open the new store at 30 Partridge Road.
"Exit 19 was an important factor for us. The (Wildwood) development going on at Exit 19 and the last census data indicates growth in Carroll County as substantial," said McChesney, who owns the new store along with his wife Tonya in a partnership with Glenn Dixon. "And in our business trends, our numbers are going that way, so we wanted to be part of that growth. That is where the prayers came in."
The new Sears Hometown Store opened two weeks prior to Friday's ribbon cutting and grand-opening celebration. Speaking to a collective audience of customers, employees and officials from Carroll County and the Town of Hillsville, McChesney talked about how much his faith factored into the decision, along with the help of many from all over the Twin Counties.
"I want to say thank you to Carroll County. We are excited about it and we're excited about working with the Dixon family," McChesney said. "Our faith in God…this is all built on faith. If not for a lot of prayers answered, we would not be here. I also want to thank the citizens of the area. They are fantastic – from Hillsville, Woodlawn, Galax, Grayson, Independence and North Carolina, all of them. We wanted to grow and we have a lot of cement here. We've built a solid foundation. This is our home and we hope Carroll County is excited about it, too."
McChesney talked about what a wonderful location he has for the new Sears Hometown Store on Route 58, very close to Interstate 77.
"It's a good location for us. We wanted to be here in the forefront of (U.S.) 58 and (Interstate) 77," he said. "And there are new businesses coming. There is an urgent care going across the road from us in December, and others in the works as well. Also, the new Jeff Johnson RV dealership is opening, so we're excited to be a part of it. Even our customers in Galax are excited. It's only a seven-minute difference (from the previous store)."
McChesney explained that the Sears Hometown Store in Woodlawn is a new concept Sears store. When you hear about a store closing in Lynchburg or Martinsville, it's not a bad thing, he said, it just means more of the new format stores are opening in other locations.
"I've been with the company for 27 years and this is their future," McChesney said. "They have their own listing on the New York Stock Exchange. We have expanded tools and mattresses. We have a very large inventory here."
Before officially cutting the ribbon, both he and Dixon led those gathered in prayer. After the prayer, local and area officials thanked McChesney and Dixon for bringing the new store to Woodlawn.
Carroll County Board of Supervisors Chairman Sam Dickson said the county was real pleased to have the new Sears store in the county. He called it a "great thing." Hillsville Mayor Greg Crowder said even though the new Sears is just a little bit outside of town limits, Hillsville is still glad to have the new business so close. Crowder said he was "real impressed" with the new facility and the commitment the owners put into it. Area Delegate Annie B. Crockett-Stark added she is always happy to have new jobs coming to her district. Hillsville Town Councilman David Young also expressed his amazement with the new business and its leadership.
Above and beyond what his previous Sears offered in Galax, McChesney said the Woodlawn location has 600 more tools than before, including many more individual tools. With Craftsman Tools featuring a lifetime warranty, the bigger inventory allows him to switch out tools on the spot. Mattresses are on display in the corner of the store, including the Sealy brand, something the previous store didn't offer.
Another valuable feature for customers is the ability to ship sears.com items for free. If it's not in the store, anything that sears.com carries can be shipped directly to your home for free, or to the home of a friend or relative for free, helping save postage on Christmas and birthday gifts.
"There are millions of items on sears.com, whether it's Lands' End clothing, Sears' clothing, tools, toys, or pots and pans. A lot of people don't want to shop on the internet because they want to buy local, so this way they can shop through the local store and get free shipping," McChesney said.
The new Sears Hometown Store is open from 9 a.m.-7 p.m. Monday through Saturday and from 12-6 p.m. on Sunday. The store can be reached by calling (276) 238-8600.

Fuller: County Needs to Think Housing, Not Transportation
Montgomery County will need to make significant changes in its attitude towards development if it wants to see continued economic success, economist says.
Montgomery County will need to shift its focus toward housing and job training to allow for its growing economy, an economist told the Montgomery County Council on Tuesday.
The county economy, now at $69.5 billion, is forecasted to grow by $26.5 billion
over the next 10 years, said Stephen Fuller, director of the Center for Regional Analysis at George Mason University, on Tuesday.
"His emphasis on housing and a trained work force really caught everyone's
attention," Councilwoman Nancy Floreen (D-at large) of Garrett Park said after Fuller's presentation. "In terms of infrastructure, we have been focusing on transportation to support economic growth and he downplayed that."
Thus far, that focus on transportation may not be working. Suburban Maryland has hasn't shown much growth in terms of the regional economy over the past 40 years.
While Northern Virginia has grown to account for 46 percent of the gross regional
product (up from 25 percent in 1970), Maryland has remained steady at just more than 30 percent. Fairfax County has seen an economic growth of 132.5 percent, while Montgomery County has grown only 87.3 percent between 1990 and 2010.
Jobs are expected to grow 19.6 percent over the decade, but the population is
likely to grow 11.2 percent, Fuller said. The county will not have a labor force large enough to accommodate the growth without changes. Jobs follow the people, Fuller observed, an idea that's contrary to the more common outlook of people following the jobs.
Residents will need to be educated and prepared for the coming jobs, he said, which will likely be in government and in education and health.
Fuller said research showed an "encore generation" where older resident re-enter
the work force after retirement, which may help the county to fill vacant jobs.
These workers will need a place to live. Fuller said the county will need twice as
many multifamily houses as single-family homes—at the least—and that families with an income of less than $50,000 will need 42 percent of those homes.
"I think the most difficult part for us has always been, and will continue to be,
insuring that there is adequate housing that is affordable to our work force," Floreen said. "It is difficult to find rents and home prices that are affordable in a community so close to our nation's capital. We've always said that we were for affordable housing but saying that and doing it is another thing."
Branding is also key to success, Fuller said. Just as advertising executives use the aerodynamic qualities of a golf club to justify its price, Fuller suggested that the county better advertise returns on taxes such as quality of living and education.
"We're a county of a million residents, and the reason why is that this is a great place to live and work," said Councilmember Craig Rice (D-District 2) of Germantown. "We need to be true to ourselves, know what our strong points are, build off the successes that we've been able to garner up to this point."

How incredibly ironic to read this article on Patch just a few days after Rockville voters re-elected people who continue to hysterically portray development of affordable housing as a threat to the safety and well-being of the city.
2:24 am on Friday, November 11, 2011
Stupid liberals still can't figure out excessive taxation and regulation combined with increasingly gridlocked traffic has doomed Maryland and Montgomery County. The best things Maryland and Montgomery County can do is shrink government spending, cut taxes and regulation, and build more limited access grade separated roads. These things all promote freedom and reduce tyranny.
10:47 am on Monday, November 14, 2011
"build more limited access grade separated roads"... This is definitely, not what people want to see. This is the opposite of what we call smart growth. The County needs to concentrate on building high density urban developments around transportation centers. It is like building many small sustainable downtowns that have hosuing, commercial, and office space mixed.
Temperance Blalock
1:34 pm on Monday, November 14, 2011
More Tea Party blather. What does "limited access grade separated roads" mean? Does that mean building an entirely parallel toll road system? Gee, that would *really* work in a place that already has severely limited space.

How to use a donburi bento box
Japanese donburi is a type of meal with food served right on top of rice in an oversized bowl; examples include dishes like simmered egg and chicken (oyako-don), tempura, Japanese curry, sukiyaki, eel, etc. When making a bento lunch, though, donburi toppings with a lot of moisture tend to make the rice soggy when packed together. I've previously described the "rice lid" method where a layer of rice is packed on top of curry or stew in a thermal jar, keeping most of the rice intact and allowing the use of a thermal lunch jar's non-sealing larger rice container for liquidy foods. Another method is to pack rice totally separate from the stew or curry, and put them together just before eating, which keeps the rice from getting soggy. This is the best way provided both rice and curry are nice and warm, and your container is large enough to contain both easily. I recently picked up a microwave-safe bento box for donburi meals that's designed to address just these issues. (Click for the full review and an additional preschooler lunch.)
The "Don Don Lunch Box" is from Hakoya, a Japanese bento box manufacturer known for their good quality boxes and classic designs. Rice goes in the bottom half of the large bowl (holds 260ml under the top container), and liquidy stew or curry goes in the top container (200ml). The yellow curry container nestles down inside of the larger bowl, and has a tight-fitting lid to keep everything safely contained. It doesn't keep things warm, though, so use the microwave to warm both layers (unassembled) before eating (be sure to remove the inner lid before microwaving). The cool thing about a donburi bento box, though, is that the bottom bowl is large enough so that once everything is warmed, you have room to dump all of the curry right on top of the warm rice and eat it like a proper donburi. The manufacturer also recommends it for pasta, to keep the pasta sauce from soaking into the noodles during transit. If I were to pack pasta I'd be sure to first toss the noodles with some olive oil, butter or a little sauce to keep them from sticking together.
On the heels of writing about concerns surrounding microwaving plastics, I was particularly interested in how microwave-safe the container actually is. The packaging says the box is made of recyclable PET resin from Matsushita Electric Works (the same corporate group behind the Panasonic and National brands), that no dioxins will leach into food when microwaving, and it's fine from a range of temperatures from -20 to 140 deg. C (-4 to 284 deg F). Everything can be microwaved and put in the dishwasher except for the curry dish's inner lid (woo hoo for another dishwasher-safe box, saving me from more hand washing). The manufacturer notes that when you microwave food like curry, though, the inner container can take on the curry's smell and color, but that washing it well with dish soap and some bleach will remove most of the stains or odor (see more ideas for removing stains/odors from bento gear). I notice that the inner container is made of light yellow plastic so that turmeric stains from curries blend right in.
I bought the faux wood brown version on sale for $15.75 at Sanko in San Francisco's Japantown ($17.50 before their 10%-off sale that goes until Feb. 23, 2008, full store review here), but evidently the Don Don Lunch Box also comes in a reddish version and plain metallic colors (orange, white and light blue). Hakoya isn't the only company that makes donburi-specific bento boxes, though. You can find some here on eBay in red and black. (I have no commercial affiliations with Sanko, Hakoya, eBay, etc.)

Contents of preschooler lunch: Japanese chicken curry, rice with nori-flavored furikake rice sprinkles, peeled tangerine, rakkyo pickled scallions, and a mini pudding cup.
Morning prep time: 6 minutes, using leftover curry and fresh rice made with my rice cooker with timer. In the morning I microwaved the leftover curry while pre-warming the thermal food jar with hot tap water.
Cooking: For dinner the night before, I made Japanese curry with chicken, onions, potatoes and carrots. Japanese curry is very mild, and a breeze to make using little blocks of shelf-stable Japanese curry roux sold in Asian markets. Just brown the meat and veggies, add water and simmer for about 15 minutes, then dissolve the blocks of curry roux in the mixture and simmer for another 5 minutes until it's nice and thick. You can make this especially fun for kids by using little cookie cutters to shape the carrots, but that's way too much work for me. Pickles such as crisp rakkyo or fukujinzuke are usually served alongside Japanese curry for a nice flavor and texture counterpoint; my three-year-old loves rakkyo and begs for them. You can find rakkyo (and curry roux) in Japanese and Korean markets, or try making your own.
Packing: I left some head room in the thermal food jar so that Bug could dump his rice on top of the curry when he was ready to eat. The rakkyo went into a coated paper baking cup that was smaller than all of my reusable silicone cups, and I peeled the tangerine to make it easier for my son to eat. Look closely at the same container and you'll see a clear plastic spoon for the mini pudding cup tucked inside. The lunch is packed in a 560ml insulated bento set from Ichiban Kan; similar sets are sold on Amazon in green or blue (affiliate links). You can get the same effect as these pricier sets by using a small side container and a thermal food jar, commonly available from stores like Target or Walmart.
Verdict: A home run! Bug demolished this entirely in one sitting. I thought it might be a bit too much for him according to the bento box size guidelines, but he's going through a growth spurt and has been eating unbelievable amounts of food lately. Mild Japanese curry is usually a winner with kids, and Bug's no exception.

February 18th, 2008 at 6:21 pmMy first reaction to this was, "Awww. I want one! Dangit!"
That looks like a way cool box.
Elfir Says:
February 18th, 2008 at 6:43 pmThat sounds like a pretty neat box. Um, you might want to reread that first sentence though. "right on top" instead of "on right top" I think was what you meant.
Biggie Says:
February 19th, 2008 at 10:14 am@1 from Jeff: If you find an online source for this box, please let us know and post it here! I looked around for a source but couldn't find one. (It does bother me when I post about something people are going to have a hard time finding…)

February 19th, 2008 at 1:11 pmHi Biggie,
I found you site a couple of weeks ago and I love it! Thanks for all the great information! Keep up the wonderful job. -

February 19th, 2008 at 7:56 pmI wonder if mild Japanese curry would be a hit with my two year old?
akaJB Says:
February 19th, 2008 at 8:36 pmStumbled on your site a week or two ago and have now read pretty much every post. Anyway, was visiting my mom this past weekend and so dragged her around with me trying to find a suitable container for a bento box. I finally found a 600ml lock and lock square container (it looks so tiny) and a pack of 6 silicon muffin cups (I figure even if this doesn't last long, those things will).
Anyway, it was odd timing to find your blog because I'm heading down to San Jose for a conference/workshop this Thursday thru Sunday and so will have a tiny amount of free time in both San Jose and San Francisco to explore. So, I was just wondering if you have a suggested "starter's list" of items, or even a list of items you find you use the most. As the only Daiso (sp?) in Canada is in Vancouver, this will probably be my only chance for quite a while to check out any of these stores.
Thanks -
Norah Nick Says:
February 20th, 2008 at 11:37 amI would like to piggyback onto akaJB's request. In the list of starter items, could you include the Top 5 items we should start out with for our Asian pantry? For instance, would those fish sprinkles for rice be one of them? If so, which flavor and brand. I know you don't endorse brands but it would be helpful when shopping to look for a brand that I know you personally like.
Thanks in advance!
Biggie Says:
February 20th, 2008 at 5:44 pm@5 from Hope: Thanks for the kind words, Hope! Please feel free to comment or ask questions even on old entries — I try to keep up with all comments via the Recent Comments thingie in the right-hand column.
Biggie Says:
February 20th, 2008 at 5:45 pm@6 from Fourleafclover: I would say odds are good on your two-year old enjoying the mild version of Japanese curry, but your mileage may vary! Let us know if you try it out!
Biggie Says:
February 20th, 2008 at 5:47 pm@7 from akaJB: Excellent idea, akaJB! I'll get to work on putting one together.
Biggie Says:
February 20th, 2008 at 5:49 pm@8 from Norah Nick: Hmm, I'm game for putting together a starter's list of bento stuff, but foodstuff might be a little trickier as I'm a big believer in the "world food bento" as opposed to the "all-Japanese food bento". Let me think on it…
Norah Nick Says:
February 21st, 2008 at 2:06 pmIn that case, may I suggest a list of top 5-10 products to get us started on our WORLD pantry. Basically I just want to know what brands/flavors to look for when I go to the market and see, for instance, 20 bottles of Korean BBQ sauce. Thanks!

February 21st, 2008 at 6:18 pmOk, two comments
1. Love the website…makes me miss my time in Japan even more. Thanks for the inspiration2. As to your loving cat. Even though we close our bedroom door to prevent Gideon, our 18 yr old marmalade cat from wandering around in the room at night, we found he scratches at the door… so we put a "child gate" up across the hallway just a few steps from the door. Since he can not hop over anymore (old bones) we dont have the midnight check in anymore
Alison Says:
March 6th, 2008 at 7:51 pmBy any chance, do you (or anyone reading this)have a recipe for a make-your-own version of the S & B Japanese curry roux blocks? We love Japanese curry, but three of us in our family can't eat gluten any more, and the curry roux blocks have wheat starch. I've tried several times to make it from scratch, but it just doesn't taste the same.

August 16th, 2008 at 8:49 amHello,
I live on the east coast (Springfield, MA.) and I'm looking for a bento box. I think these boxes are pretty nice especially if you want portion control. Can I purchase one from this site? The bento store locator doesn't work for the east coast. I thank you in advance.Greg
Biggie Says:
August 16th, 2008 at 9:43 am@16 from greg: I don't sell bento boxes directly, but thanks for helping me figure out that there's a bug in the BSL. Evidently it doesn't like the Enter key after you put in a location into the box — you need to actually click the Locate Stores box with your mouse. I'll have my web guy fix it and put a warning on the BSL page in the meantime. Should work as a workaround for you in the meantime — there are a lot of East Coast stores in there.
Biggie Says:
August 16th, 2008 at 11:55 am@16 from greg: Okay, the BSL is fixed now — should work for you. Let me know if you find anything else and I'll have it seen to.

Your site is fantastic! A friend recommended it to me and I love it.

February 1st, 2009 at 10:43 amAck, I'm still in love with that brown Don Don Lunch Box. I never see it anywhere though. aww..
Biggie Says:
February 2nd, 2009 at 12:13 pm@20 from CatGirlPink: I stopped in at Sanko in SF Japantown last week, and not only are they out of the Don Don Lunch Box, they're having trouble restocking (said the manufacturer isn't making it any more). Too bad…
Leah Says:
May 29th, 2009 at 1:21 pmIchiban Kan has them at their online store RIGHT NOW! I can't justify the cost, but if anyone else can you'd better shop quick!
Schenck Says:
December 23rd, 2010 at 10:14 amFWIW, I was in San Fran the week of Dec 12th, and Sanko has these don don boxes right now, they had a good number of them in the plain colors (didn't notice the wood grain ones, hope I didn't just miss them). They are on sale for $13. I bought two.
Soko Hardware didn't have them, but the lady that orders supplies there was very nice and mentioned that they might have it at Sanko, I made sure to pick up some stuff at Soko afterwards because she was so nice. -
Rosie Jeffry Says:
May 4th, 2011 at 8:12 amI intended to draft you this very little word just to say thanks yet again over the beautiful tricks you have provided at this time. This has been really particularly generous with you in giving freely just what many of us would have offered for sale for an e book to generate some profit for their own end, chiefly considering that you might well have tried it if you ever wanted. The ideas also served to provide a great way to fully grasp many people have the identical fervor the same as mine to grasp somewhat more on the topic of this matter. I believe there are millions of more pleasant sessions in the future for those who view your website.
