Tonight after work I’m going out drinking with a different group of ex-students than the usual bunch. It should be fun to see their chemistry – every group has a different one. Add in a predominantly English-speaking teacher and we’ll see what happens. Usually everybody wants to speak Japanese at first, and then slowly the English comes out. I’m looking forward to the party, though. <\/p>\n
Tomorrow I’ll catch a beer on the way home with another OTC teacher that I haven’t seen in a while, and then Friday I’ll have a day off from parties before the big holiday starts. My holiday calendar is also starting to fill out a little bit – Friday I’ll spend the day in Osaka and Thursday Kuniko and I will go over to Kakogawa to help out around the rice paddy with Kuniko’s folks. <\/p>\n
So, lots of the horizon – looking forward to the Golden Week holidays!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
