Today at work I have a chance to teach a double lesson to the newly hired employees at Kawasaki Rolling Stock. There are around 30 new employees, and I’m going to spend about 90 minutes with them to see how they do in an all-English environment. The idea is to teach them a couple of times this week, and then maybe in six months or so after they have settled into their training schedules I think I’ll teach them again in small groups on a more regular basis. It should be fun today to see how they do in class.
This weekend we had a chance to go out on Saturday after Kuniko’s school’s concert, to a restaurant called 全州. It is a Korean restaurant, and when we arrived the place was packed. As soon as our reservation time came up two people left, and we took their seat. The place was very small, and filled with Korean people, most of whom spoke Japanese. The food was great, and we made the mistake of over-ordering a bit. It was a good mistake to make, though – lots of great food, especially the japchae.
This week should go pretty quickly – it is the last week before Golden Week. Can’t wait for a whole week off!
