Last night after work I met with Neil Meyer, a guy that has worked with Kawasaki for a long time both here in Kobe and elsewhere. \u00a0He is a technical translator, and it was interesting to hear about his job and what kind of challenges he has at work. \u00a0But mainly we discussed stuff like travel, living in Japan, and even the train industry. \u00a0We ate at an Indian restaurant hidden on a backstreet in Hyogo that I’ve never seen before, and the food was quite good – especially the sag dal.<\/p>\n
After dinner we were walking back and saw Gary and Bill drinking at a nearby bar, so we stopped in to say hello. \u00a0We didn’t stick around to drink, but just talked a little before moving on. \u00a0The place we found them looked pretty interesting, too. \u00a0I guess I should explore Hyogo a little more!<\/p>\n
Today at the end of my afternoon I’ll be teaching a lesson to the new employees. \u00a0It is an introductory lesson, with two follow-up lessons next month, and then I’ll teach all of them again beginning in October of this year in group lessons. \u00a0So it’ll be first impression time for everyone this afternoon. \u00a0I hope it goes well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
